Mersin Feneri (The Mersin Lighthouse) is located at the Mediterranean coast in the city of Mersin, Turkey.

Geography

The lighthouse is approximately {{convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} west of harbor entrance. Since the dominant wind in Mersin area is lodos (from south west) the lighthouse provides service to the vessels approaching from the west as it is usually the case.

History

The lighthouse was built in 1865, and reconstructed in 1955. It was bought by the Republic of Turkey, and now it is operated by Directorate General of Coastal Safety ({{lang-tr|Kıyı Emniyeti Genel Müdürlüğü}}).

Technical details

The building is an octagonal cylindrical masonry tower with lantern and gallery. Adjacent to the tower, there is a keeper's house. Its focal plane is {{convert|16|m|ft|abbr=on}}. It flashes three times white every ten seconds. In the past the light source was kerosene and acetylene. Currently, it is lit by a halogen lamp. The range of visibility is about {{convert|15|nmi|km|abbr=on}}. Mersin lighthouse is listed in Turkey under the code "TUR-043".[2]
