Lighthouse and Church in Aden – Yemen – 1880

This rare 1880 photograph showcases a striking view of Aden’s lighthouse and a colonial-era church, both located in the Steamer Point area.
The lighthouse served maritime navigation, while the church reflected the British administrative and religious presence in the port colony.
The image illustrates the distinctive architectural footprint of the time and highlights Aden’s role as a key strategic and religious-military hub on the Suez–India route.
