Its story

Hora Lighthouse takes its name from Hora, the old name of Hoşköy. On the instructions of Sultan Abdülmecid, it was built in 1861 by Mişel Paşa (Michel Pasha) using cast-iron parts brought from France. The tower, about 20 meters tall, stands 50 meters above sea level; its rotating optical system of 96 crystals carries the light about 19 miles. The lighthouse and its surroundings are a lovely viewpoint over the Marmara.
