One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The legendary Pharos lighthouse was built in 200 BC on the island of Pharos, being the tallest structure in the world (even being compared with existing structures) with its 492 feet tall. It is said that the tower contained numerous statues (including one of Neptune and Triton four) and a church on top of the building.
