How To Reach Old Lighthouse

Puducherry, India
Details of a Colonial Sentinel: The Old Lighthouse is an iconic historical landmark located on Goubert Avenue (the beach promenade), a powerful reminder of Puducherry's maritime past as a major trading port. Constructed by the French government, the foundation was laid by engineer Louis Guerre in 18 35, and it began functioning in 1836, making it one of the oldest lighthouses on the Coromandel Coast. Standing at a height of 29 meters, it was a vital guide for ships entering the port, originally using a system of 12 oil lamps magnified by lenses and mirrors. Though it was decommissioned in 1979 after the new, taller lighthouse was built, the cylindrical structure remains a famous and visible symbol of the city's colonial heritage and engineering. It is a key visual landmark on the Promenade Beach.:
