Djerda Peninsula Lighthouse

Phare de la Presqu’île de Djerda

Located in the Skikda wilaya, the Djerda Peninsula Lighthouse (often associated with the Collo sector) serves as an essential and strategic aid to navigation along the eastern Algerian coastline. Built on a prominent rocky headland, this maritime signaling establishment effectively guides commercial vessels, fishing fleets, and transit ships. Its geographical position makes it a key component of the national aids to navigation network managed by our institution.

Dating back to the mid-19th century, this historic structure has stood the test of time while fully maintaining its major operational role. Our regional teams ensure daily technical maintenance and the modernization of its infrastructure to comply with international maritime safety standards.
