Množina: Pharos of Alexandrias
In antiquity, a gigantic lighthouse at the entrance to the harbor of Alexandria, considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was built in the early 3rd century BC by the Macedonian kings of Egypt, Ptolemy I and Ptolemy II, and took its name from the island on which it stood.
The lighthouse was repeatedly damaged by earthquakes, and any remains of the ancient structure are now concealed under the medieval fortress of Kait Bey.
