So, we've all heard of lighthouses -- but how about a house with a light? That's what this one looks like.
I've featured one other lighthouse from Montenegro, and I also posted about a statue that stands (actually poses) in the harbor at Budva.
So I decided to see if there are lighthouses near the harbor of Budva. And there is one. And as I said, the light stands on a small tower next to the lighthouse keeper's house, which is much larger. I could only find one picture (extracted from a video) that shows what the light looks like, relatively close-up.
This is the location of this unusual lighthouse.
Here is what the estimable Lighthouse Directory provides about it:
"Date unknown (station established 1882). Active; focal plane 23 m (75 ft); three white flashes every 10 s. 4 m (13 ft) hexagonal unpainted stone tower attached to a 1-1/2 story stone keeper's house. ... Otočić Sveti Nikola is an island rising dramatically from the bay of Budva. Located at the southeastern point of the island, about 3 km (1.8 mi) southeast of Budva."
Most of the pictures of this one are from Google Maps.
