Cape Agulhas lighthouse, very close to where the Indian ocean and the South Atlantic meet, and the second oldest lighthouse in southern Africa.

Agreed! The architecture is unusual. Not what one might usually expect of old lighthouses.

 

So a Google reveals it to be built in 1849 and  "inspired by the Pharos of Alexandria". Amazing!

 

Thanks for sharing.

Stuart,

 

I understand why you two have fond memories of this beautiful little building. Judy and I have fond memories of this little, 1906, lighthouse in Ucluelet, on Vancouver Island's West Coast. The architecture doesn't compare but the scale is similar.
