Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Lighthouse of Alexandria is one of the seven wonders of the world. The ruins are on the island of Pharos, near the city of Alexandria, Egypt. The lighthouse was built between 280 and 278 BC and stood majestically outside Alexandria for about 1500 years. However, it was extremely damaged in two earthquakes in 1503 and 1532. The Egyptian government rebuilt the lighthouse of Alexandria in 1532.
