Lighthouse of the Week, May 9-15, 2021: Cape Verige, Montenegro

 

Montenegro is a small country with a small coastal area on the Adriatic Sea, and despite the smallness of the coast, it has lighthouses.  This one is interesting for being next to an old stone building and also because I found a Google Streetview of it.

Here's where it is.  The lighthouse is next to the Gospa od Andela-Verige.

The Lighthouse Directory has a short entry on it, but it doesn't even mention the black-and-white stripes.

"Date unknown. Active; focal plane 10 m (33 ft); green flash every 3 s. 6 m (20 ft) post mounted on a square concrete pedestal. ... The light stands next to a ruined stone chapel. Located on the east side of the northern entrance to the Verige Strait."

Here's the Streetview view, and it's a pretty great view.


And here are a couple of other pictures of it.
