Mercusuar yang memiliki tinggi 85 meter, seperti yang dikatakan orang yang mendiami kawasan setempat, juga memiliki pondasi dengan kedalaman yang sama dengan tinggi bangunan itu sendiri. Bangunan yang sangat kokoh ini pun tetap aman ketika gempa bumi dahsyat menerjang Aceh di tahun 2004. Sampai sekarang kondisi mercusuar masih sangat bagus. Lampu-lampu masih terpasang di beberapa sudut. Ketika senja hari, kira-kira jam setengah 7 WIB lampu disini terus dinyalakan yang semakin memperlihatkan kesan eksotis dari situs sejarah satu ini.
The 85-meter-high lighthouse, as it is said by the people inhabiting the local area, also has a foundation with the same depth as the height of the building itself. This very sturdy building was still safe when a devastating earthquake hit Aceh in 2004. Until now the condition of the lighthouse is still very good. The lights are still installed in some corners. At dusk, at about seven-thirty pm, the lights here continue to be lit that increasingly show the exotic impression of this historical site.
Sejarah yang luar biasa...
