The most beautiful lighthouses in Europe

The order is neither an editorial pick nor a popularity count. For every lighthouse we count how many photographs exist on Wikimedia Commons and, more importantly, how many different people took them: one enthusiast can upload forty frames of the same tower, but forty people choose the same subject only when it is genuinely worth it. On top of that we count the frames Commons editors themselves marked Featured, Quality or Valued — judgement about these photographs that has already been made. Each place on the list says what its rank is made of.
