Fisgard Lighthouse was built in 1860 to guide vessels through the entrance of Esquimalt harbour. It was named after HMS Fisgard, a British Navy ship that spent time in the Pacific. It was the first lighthouse on the west coast of Canada. A causeway from the adjacent Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site provides access by land. The former lighthouse keeper's residence is open to the public and contains displays and exhibits about the site's history. The attached tower is not open to the public as it is an operational aid to navigation. (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada)
