Pondicherry Lighthouse
The Pondicherry Lighthouse is a historic landmark that has been guiding ships along the coast. It is one of the most popular tourist spots, offering a 360-degree view of Pondicherry from the top.
The lighthouse features a hexagonal tower, providing visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city and the nearby beach. Pondicherry has two lighthouses—the old lighthouse, built in 1836, and the new lighthouse, which started functioning in 1979.
The old lighthouse was constructed by the French rulers and was later replaced by the new structure to improve navigational aid for mariners. The new lighthouse stands at 46 meters (151 feet) tall, with a black-and-white hexagonal design.
