An island and lighthouse The lighthouse was built on the small island of Pharos in the Mediterranean Sea, near the coast of Alexandria. This busy port was founded by Alexander the Great during his visit to Egypt in 332 B.C. The structure was named after the island. It must have taken 20 years to build and was completed about 280 B.C., during the reign of Ptolemy II, king of Egypt[edit] Three towers The Faroese lighthouse consisted of three marble towers standing on a base of massive stone blocks. The first tower was rectangular and contained rooms in which workers and soldiers lived. There was a smaller, octagonal tower above this one, with spiral ramp to the upper tower [edit] Guiding light The upper tower had a form like a cylinder, with fire burning in it, that helped ships to reach the bay safely The total height of the lighthouse was 115-135 meters, its light was seen up to 60 km away, according to other testimonies, up to 100 km . The lower part was a 60-meter high tetrahedral prism with a square base, the side length of which was 30 meters. The inner rooms held various implements, while the flat roof, decorated at the corners with huge statues of Triton, served as the base of the middle part. It was a 40-meter octagonal prismatic tower lined with white marble. The upper third part of the lighthouse was built in the form of a cylindrical colonnade - 8 columns carried a dome topped with a 7-meter bronze figure of Poseidon, lord of the seas, or a statue of Zeus the Savior?
