Cap Rosa Lighthouse

Nestled in the El Tarf wilaya, the Cap Rosa Lighthouse (located precisely within the M’Rabtia commune) is a major maritime signaling infrastructure on the eastern coast of Algeria. Erected at the beginning of the 20th century, this historic structure dominates the shoreline and plays a crucial role in staging maritime routes near the country’s eastern borders. Its strategic position offers an indispensable visual landmark to ensure the safety of vessels at sea.
Managed and maintained by our technical teams, this Algerian maritime heritage monument combines robust architecture with reliable navigation aid technologies. In the face of continuous environmental and marine challenges, our regional teams monitor the site constantly to ensure its operational readiness.
