The grand lighthouse of Cap Carbon stands at an altitude of 220 meters, making it the tallest lighthouse in the world built on a natural site. Its construction was started in 1886, and it started operating in 1905. This lighthouse is specifically designed for ship navigation, featuring a white light and a visibility range of approximately 47 kilometers. It is equipped with two rotating machines, with the main one operating at 12 volts of energy and the backup machine at 24 volts. The lighthouse completes one rotation every 20 seconds, with a flash duration of 0.6 seconds and an interval of darkness of 3.6 seconds between each flash.

Until the last day before my visit to Bejaia, Telemcen was the head of my list for the most beautiful places in Algeria but that day I made sure this town is the missing place in the world. I'm glad I had this chance to touch its awesomeness.
