About
An elegant tower about 18 meters tall appeared in Derbent in 1856. For over 150 years, the lighthouse has been guiding ships across the Caspian Sea. Originally, acetylene lamps were lit at the top, then replaced by kerosene, and later by electricity. Today, a halogen lamp is installed, shining up to 25 nautical miles (46 km).
