Ras Afia lighthouse

Machine-translated from the French article

The Ras Al Afia lighthouse is a leading light used for the navigation of ships approaching the port of Jijel. It seems that before the colonisation, only a few rudimentary lanterns were placed near the shelters that served as refuges for Barbary vessels, such as the ordinary lantern located on the high tower of the Penon of Algiers. From the first years of the conquest, more effective lights were installed at the most characteristic points.
