The 1882 Jaffa Lighthouse: Light, Empire, and Palestine's Coast
Om avsnittet
In this episode Lucas and Luna explore the 1882 construction of the Jaffa Lighthouse, a beacon that illuminates Ottoman modernization, European maritime competition, and the changing landscape of Palestine's coast. They discuss the lighthouse's design by French engineers, its role in the Jaffa port's expansion, and how it reflected the Tanzimat reforms' push for infrastructure. The conversation also touches on the lighthouse keeper's life, the light's significance for pilgrims and traders, and the subtle ways imperial powers vied for influence along the shoreline. From shipwrecks to the rise of steamships, this episode sheds light on a neglected landmark that watched over Palestine's transformation.
