Twin lighthouse

Île d'Aix, Charente-Maritime, France

The left tower (24 m.) was built in 1889. In 1906 a twin tower was built (this tower has a gallery
but no lantern, instead it carries a curved red screen). The lighthouse was restored in 2013,
repairing cracks in the masonry and replacing the optical system.
The twin lighthouse is located on the walls of the Fort de la Rade, at the southern tip of the island.
