Day 14 of posting about Lighthouses
Garapan Lighthouse
The lighthouse before it was renovated in the 90s.
The Garapan Lighthouse, also known as the Japanese Lighthouse, was built in 1934 and survived the Second World War. After, however, it was abandoned, until it refurbished into a restaurant, but after a couple of years the restaurant was closed and returned to destitution. The concrete of the tower was made out of burnt seashells and coral, making it weather easily. Fortunately in 2021 it was made into a cafe.

[ID: A very worn gray cylindrical tower with balcony and lantern, but with no dome on top. It is attached to a small rectangular quarters, also made of concrete.]
