Derbent lighthouse

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

Derbent lighthouse can be seen at the walls of the northern fortress wall 1 kilometer from the seashore. This 18-meter tower, painted white, was erected directly on the fortress wall. The lighthouse was built in 1853 for the development of maritime navigation and trade, is one of the oldest in Russia and the southernmost.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to visit it, since the lighthouse is active. We'll have to settle for an external inspection. In the evenings, the lights turn on on it, this time will be the best to see it. In addition, there is a park very close by. Nizami Ganjavi with a light and musical fountain – the largest in Russia, whose performances begin in the evenings.
