Mersin Fairy Tale House

Located in the center of Mersin, the lighthouse consists of an octagonal tower. When Mersin was a village, 50 meters north of the present, there was a lighthouse on 4 feet of iron, in the form of a simple tower and an oil lamp. Subsequently, when the sea was withdrawn due to the sand and stone brought by the Mufti Creek, a new lighthouse came to the fore. For this purpose, it was rebuilt in 1855 by the French. The rotating lantern, which was established once every three hours and operated with kerosene, has served such a century. In 1960 the old machine was dismantled and in 1975 the electrical equipment was switched to acetylene gas flashy system.nTower height - 12 metersnHeight above sea - 16 metersnFlashlight system - StrobenVisibility - 14 milesnLight Character - FI (3) 10s

Night is more beautiful than the sea

I think the tradition from father to son is still alive. The building is a modest place of its own.
