Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse
The Old Head of Kinsale Lighthouse is located on the Old Head Peninsula in County Cork, Ireland. Built in 1853, it stands 21 meters tall and is known for its striking white tower. The lighthouse was constructed to guide ships safely into the harbor of Kinsale and to warn them of the dangerous rocks nearby.
The lighthouse is situated on a dramatic cliff that rises 70 meters above the Atlantic Ocean. It is an important historical site, especially because it was near the location of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915. Today, the lighthouse is a popular tourist attraction, offering stunning views of the surrounding coastline.
