Monuments to visit Phan Thiêt

The lighthouse stands on a deserted island, covered with frangipani trees. 65 m high, it is the largest and oldest lighthouse in Southeast Asia, built between February 1897 and 1898 on the plans of the architect, Mr. Chenavat. Nearby, Vietnamese workers who died during the construction are buried in a small cemetery. It is possible (depending on the condition of the staircase) to climb the 184 steps that lead to the top from where you have a superb view. The lighthouse is still in use, as a sentinel to watch over the ships going from Phan Rang to Vung Tau.
