The main lighthouse in Burgas was erected in 1899 at the end of the eastern mole. Just like the Varna’s breakwater lighthouse, this one also bore the name of Georgi Dimitrov, and a bas-relief with the face of the communist leader used to embellish the facade facing the sea. A few years ago, it was replaced with an emblem – the symbol of Burgas. To warn seamen during low visibility conditions, a nautophone was also installed at the lighthouse.
