Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox lighthouse

Akko Light (Шаблон:Lang-he) or Acre Light, is an active lighthouse in the port of Acre, Israel. It is located on the South-West corner of the city's ancient walls, at what is believed to be the former site of an Ottoman Burj-El-Sanjak (Flag Tower, Шаблон:Lang-he).[1]

History

The station was established in 1864.[2] As charts of the area were based on measures from 1862, the French navy chart of 1866 does not mentioned it, and it only appeared later on amended charts.[3] The current structure was established in 1912.[2]

Structure and display

The main structure is a Шаблон:Convert tapering cylindrical concrete tower with four ribs. It is painted in a black and white checkered pattern and topped with a gray metallic lantern room and a gallery. A small white painted equipment shack stands next to the tower.[2]

The light is displayed at Шаблон:Convert. The light characteristic shown is two white flashes every seven seconds (Fl.(2)W.7s), visible for Шаблон:Convert.[4]

The lighthouse is closed to the public, but there is a stone stairwell going down from the base directly into the sea.
