| | | Lighthouses Gallery Links: | History of Lighthouses on Wikipedia | | from site: Ancient Roman lighthouses are among the best preserved, and best known examples of lighthouses from Ancient History.

It must be remarked that lighthouses existed since the Hellenistic period, but it is mainly the Roman ones which have survived.

The Egyptians were the first people to build lighthouses to use light to guide ships. In Egypt in 283 the Egyptians completed the tallest lighthouse ever built. It guided ships for over 1,500 years and stood 900 feet tall. Lighthouses were also constructed by the Phoenicians, Greeks, and the Romans.
