Seven wonders of the world. The Pharos, a reconstruction by H. Thiersch (1909). View from the east, from the approach to the island.

It was identified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World by Antipater of Sidon. The lighthouse was badly damaged, with barely any remaining ruins, after three earthquakes.
