Lankaran Lighthouse is one of the city's more distinctive landmarks, a reminder that the Caspian shore mattered as much as the inland road. It once stood much closer to the water, before changes along the coast pushed the visible shoreline away.
The lighthouse is best folded into a broader walk through the centre and toward the sea. It is not a long visit, but it gives Lenkoran a maritime note that is easy to miss if you only pass through by road.
