Boujdour Lighthouse
A slender faceted tower rises above the low buildings of Boujdour.
The story behind the place
Boujdour's lighthouse is also known as the Cabo Bojador light. Its tall octagonal masonry tower carries a lantern and gallery above long pale vertical panels. The University of North Carolina's Lighthouse Directory records the present tower as 45 metres tall, with the light raised above the surrounding town. Low station buildings cluster at its base. The lighthouse offers a distinct architectural landmark on this Atlantic coast, connecting the town's skyline with the practical history of maritime navigation.
