This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of Istanbul's Fenerbahce Lighthouse, a cherished relic of the Ottoman Empire era. Dating back to circa 1910, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic landmark, which has stood guard over the Bosphorus Strait for over a century. The Fenerbahce Lighthouse, located on the European side of Istanbul, has played a crucial role in maritime navigation since its construction.

The photograph reveals a serene scene of the lighthouse, with the gentle waves of the Bosphorus lapping at its base.

As the sun sets over the horizon, the lighthouse beacon casts a warm, inviting glow, signaling the end of another day in this historic city. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Istanbul's vibrant past and its enduring allure, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
