A mysterious structure located on the northern edge of the beach and on the western edge of the now silted harbor of Patara has been under excavation. This structure has been called a “Lighthouse.” It is dated to about A.D. 60.
It is claimed by some that this is the 'oldest preserved' lighthouse in the world!
Paul and Luke changed ships at Patara as they traveled to Jerusalem at the end of Paul's third journey (Acts 21:1-3). The lighthouse may have been recently constructed and/or under construction at that time!
