And on top is a real working lighthouse serving the nation. You can climb on top of this lighthouse to enjoy scenic views of Vizag city.

7. Thotlakonda Monastry - Thotlakonda Buddhist Complex is situated on a hill near Bheemunipatnam about 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) from Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, India. The hill is about 128 meters (420 ft) above sea level and overlooks the sea. Thotlakonda came to light during an aerial survey by the Indian Navy for setting up a naval base. After its discovery, major excavations have been conducted by the Andhra Pradesh State Archaeology Department from 1988 to 1993. The excavations established the existence of a Hinayana Buddhist complex which flourished 2000 years ago. To the south of the complex, there is a tank that served as a water source to the inhabitants of the monastery. So do visit if you like ancient relics and places.
