The name literally means Lighthouse and is usually associated with the Pharos of Alexandria, i.e. The Lighthouse of Alexandria; one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Constructed on an island off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt, the lighthouse dates from the third century BCE and was in use for approximately 900 years until it was presumably toppled by an earthquake in 641 CE.
