Imagine walking through a bustling medieval city with buildings crowded together and narrow streets lined with houses. In this dense urban landscape, the sunlight streaming through a window might be the only natural light available inside. But what if a neighbor built a taller structure, blocking that precious light? This scenario, once a common occurrence, led to the creation of a fascinating property right known as Ancient Lights. This curious legal concept allowed property owners to claim uninterrupted access to sunlight, a right so fiercely defended that its legacy still echoes in property law and urban planning today.

But what, exactly, were these ancient lights, and how did they come to hold such importance? To understand, we need to travel back in time and follow the journey of this right from its medieval origins through its global influence, eventually arriving at its subtle but lasting place in modern law.
