The oldest and highest lighthouse on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast - the one in Shabla, is opening its doors to visitors. The event is being held on the occasion of the International Day of Lighthouses on August 18 (Friday) between 10.00 and 16.00. The facility, which is located 6 km from the town of Shabla, can boast of over a hundred years of history.

The lighthouse was built in a scaled-down model of one of the Seven Wonders of the World - the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

A curious fact is that the Sable lighthouse contains a message from officials to future generations, which will be opened when its 200th anniversary is celebrated, according to the Ministry of Tourism.
