Page no. 1, photos: 1-6, 13 photos in total. >>>
Shabla's lighthouse marks the easternmost point of Bulgaria. With its 32-meter height, it is the oldest and tallest lighthouse on the Black Sea. It was officially opened on July 15th (27th), 1856. The lighthouse protects ships from impact with an underwater reef that extends approximately one nautical mile and prevents them from sinking into the shallows between Cape Shabla and the village of Tyulenovo. In the early 5th century, there was a Fire Watch station. The south bay of the lighthouse was called Karon Limen. During ancient times, the port of Kariya was the most important transit port in the area.
