The catalog of the historical and cultural heritage of Sochi “Monuments of architecture and urban planning” says: “The complex of buildings of the Sochi lighthouse is the main building with a lighthouse tower.”
A lighthouse is a navigational sign that serves to identify a ship, a coastal or sea area. Lighthouses are coastal, floating, river and lake, radio beacons and hydroacoustic. All lighthouses are marked on maps and described in sailing directions. Piloting is one of the branches of the science of navigation, dealing with a detailed study of the oceans, seas, and rivers in relation to the needs of navigation.
The Sochi lighthouse is one of the coastal lighthouses. Such lighthouses are built in the form of high towers on the shores of the sea, islands or reefs, near places dangerous for navigation - shoals, banks, etc., so that they are clearly visible from the sea. They are given different shapes (round, square, polygonal, etc.) and painted in different colors. A powerful lantern is lit at the top of the lighthouse tower at night, the light of which is visible at a long distance.
The main building with the lighthouse tower and the complex of Sochi lighthouse buildings were built in 1891. They belong to the Hydrographic Department of the Novorossiysk Navy, military unit 30839 of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the lighthouse cape was destroyed by storm waves. And only in the 50s of the 20th century, Sochi scientist A.M. Zhdanov developed a scientific system for strengthening sea shores. He proved in practice that the best means of building beaches are groins, thanks to which artificial pebble beach formation occurs.
Proof of this is the modern embankment with a cultural and entertainment center and beaches. It starts from the southern pier of the seaport and ends near the Arboretum park on Avenue. Pushkin.
