A privileged spot in Annaba, the Cap des Gards lighthouse is located north of the port of Annaba, on the northwestern side of the cape. Built in 1850, on top of a majestic red colored rock, it is also called the Ras Al Hamra Lighthouse. The tower rises 17.5 meters from the ground, and the beacon sweeps its lights in a radius of 31 nautical miles, or 49.89 km. The lighthouse emits other signals, which help seafaring ships to approach the land. You should visit this site, which arouses the curiosity of large numbers of visitors, to see the most beautiful panoramic views of the square stretching as far as the eye can see.
