호미곶 등대 · Gyeongbuk · Parks & nature
Homigot Lighthouse is located at Homigot Cape, listed as one of the 10 most scenic sites during the Joseon dynasty. It was the tallest lighthouse in Korea at the time of its opening on December 20, 1908. The octagonal, six-story building is 26.4 meters high, with a base circumference of 24 meters. It was built using red bricks and no reinforcing rods, designed in the 18th century renaissance style, with gable decorations over the entrance and windows. The ceiling on each floor is sculpted in the shape of pear blossoms, a symbol of the Joseon royalty, while the number of stairs totals to 108, reflective of Buddhist culture.
