Sulina Old Lighthouse Museum
Farul Vechi Sulina
The European Commission of the Danube lighthouse, built in 1870, now a museum that tells the history of the Sulina port and shipping channel.
The lighthouse once stood at the river mouth, but as sediment accumulated and the coastline shifted east, it ended up in town. The museum displays channel improvement work, the history of the Commission, and old photographs. Visitors can climb the tower for views over the river mouth and the town. Admission is about 10 to 20 lei. Opening hours are longer in summer, while the museum is often closed in winter, so check ahead. It is about a 15 minute walk from the passenger ship dock.
Opening hours
Summer approx. 10:00–18:00
