Amburan Lighthouse or Nardaran Lighthouse (Azerbaijani: Amburan mayakı), was built on the Kohne Bilgah Cape on the Galagaya Upland in 1882. It is an operating lighthouse in the Caspian Sea (Azerbaijan).[1]
History
[edit | edit source]
The Amburan lighthouse was built in 1882 on the Amburan spit on the Galagaya Upland. It was a two-storey stone edifice, originally built for residential purposes. On the side of the building facing the sea, an extension was added: a protruding porch-vestibule that rose to the second floor, topped by an almost round, windowless tower.[2][3]
A lighting lantern was installed on the second floor of this tower in 1884. As in the case of the Shuvelan lighthouse, it is located in a round glazed room on all sides, evoking a small glazed rotunda. The Amburan lighthouse is unique for its light, which shines alternately white and red, with a distinct red glint. Previously, the light was sectorial, directed in a specific direction, but after the 1983 reconstruction, it became circular.[4]
