The lighthouse of Hora was built with special materials brought from France in 1861 by order of Sultan Abdul Majid. Made entirely of iron, Hora Lighthouse is famous for illuminating ships for 157 years, with a length of 20 meters and a height of 25 meters, the Hora Lighthouse still guides ships passing through the Sea of Marmara. Visible from 20 miles away, the lantern light is an indicative light even in the winter months. The lantern, which was lit by a wick lamp in the years of its construction, is today powered by electric power.
