Lighthouse of Monemvasia

The Lighthouse of Monemvasia is sits on a rocky point below the historic fortress town of Monemvasia in southern Greece. Built in the late 19th century, the stone lighthouse stands against the rugged coastline, with the open sea stretching out in front of it and steep rock rising behind. Its position at the base of the massive cliff creates a strong contrast between natural and built elements, with the fortified town above. The walk down to the lighthouse follows a path along the rock, offering changing angles as you approach. The surrounding coastline, waves, and weathered stone provide a range of compositions, especially when the light is low and shadows define the textures of the landscape. (Monemvasia, Laconia, Greece)
