Sömürge döneminden kalma 23 deniz fenerine ev sahipliği yapan Cezayir’de, bu fenerlerin birçoğu tarihi açıdan önemli bölgelerde yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma, Cezayir denizcilik sinyalizasyon sisteminin bir parçası olarak Tipaza deniz fenerine odaklanmaktadır. Amacı, bu yapıların mimari ve yapısal zenginliklerini belgelemek için grafik rölöveyi de içeren yerinde inceleme yöntemini kullanmak ve inşa süreçlerini tarihsel bağlamda vurgulamak için tarihsel araştırmaya dayalı analitik bir metodoloji geliştirmektir. 1982’den beri UNESCO Dünya Mirası Listesi’nde yer alan bir arkeolojik sit alanı içinde bulunan Tipaza Deniz Feneri, konut alanlarıyla bütünleşmiş kare biçimli kulesiyle dikkat çekmektedir. Mekânsal organizasyonu, işlevsellik ile yaşam alanları arasında bir denge kurarken sakinlerinin mahremiyetine saygı göstermektedir. Yapı şu anda bozulma sürecinde olsa da, moloz taş ve kesme taş duvarları, 1865’ten bu yana mercek sistemini desteklemeye devam etmekte ve deniz seyrüseferine yardımcı olarak işlevini sürdürmektedir. Bu çalışma, Tipaza Deniz Feneri'nin önemine ve korunmasının aciliyetine dair farkındalık yaratmayı amaçlamaktadır. Aynı zamanda, Cezayir’in deniz fenerleri için gelecekteki belgeleme ve koruma girişimlerine katkıda bulunarak, bu yapıların Akdeniz deniz peyzajındaki kültürel önemi ve tarihi mirasını güçlendirecektir.

THE RECOGNITION OF ALGERIA’S LIGHTHOUSES AS MARITIME HERITAGE: CASE OF TIPAZA’S LIGHTHOUSE

Öz

With its extensive 1622 kilometres of coastline, Algeria occupies a strategic position in the Mediterranean, endowing it with an invaluable maritime heritage that spans from Antiquity to the Middle Age. Home to 23 lighthouses dating back to the colonial era, many of which are situated on historically significant sites. This study focuses on the Tipaza’s lighthouse as a part of the Algerian maritime signalling system. The paper aims to develop an analytical methodology based on historical research to highlight the lighthouses process within the historical context, on-site investigation including graphical surveying to identify and document the architectural and structural richness of these edifices. Located within an archaeological site inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage since 1982, Tipaza’s lighthouse is distinguished by its quadrangular tower integrated with its residential quarters. Its spatial organization achieves a balance between functionality and living spaces while respecting the privacy of its occupant. Although the building is currently in a state of degradation, its rubble masonry and ashlar walls continue to support the lenticular system since 1865, thereby ensuring its role as maritime navigational aid. This study aims to raise awareness of the significance of Tipaza’s lighthouse and the utmost importance of its conservation. Furthermore, it will contribute to future documentation and conservation initiatives for Algeria’s lighthouses, reinforcing their cultural significance and historical legacy within the Mediterranean maritime landscape.
