Its story
The İnebolu Lighthouse was built in 1863 in the Ottoman period by the French-born Michel Pasha. The 1878 document 'Fenerler Ta'rifatı' (Description of Lighthouses) records that its light could be seen from 4 miles away. The lighthouse, 9 meters high above the ground and 38 meters above the sea, today belongs to the Directorate General of Coastal Safety. Its first lighthouse keepers were of French origin; the first Turkish keeper to work at the lighthouse was Rıfat Yılmaz. From around the lighthouse, İnebolu harbor and the shore where the İstiklal Yolu (Road of Independence) begins can be viewed.
