Lattakia Beacon (faux)
latitude 35° 31' 45.2" N longitude 35° 46' 31.1" E
This tall concrete tower is described by several photographers as a "lighthouse" or "beacon", but it does not appear to carry a light. More likely it is a harbor control tower. It is a short distance north of the Lattakia Range Rear Light.
