What I can see

A similar fortress of the same era can be found in Austria. The concrete artillery, warehouses, observation posts, spotlights and anti-aircraft bases were built during the German occupation (WWII). Moreover, the 1864 lighthouse of the French Company of Ottoman Lighthouses stands out, it is 10m high and is placed 32m above sea level.

What I can't see
