Genoese Lighthouse

The Genoese Lighthouse is a lighthouse and historical monument located on the waterfront of the city of Constan?a, Romania at the back of a collection of statues which has in its middle the bust of Mihai Eminescu, sculpted by means of Oscar Han. It is located close to Constan?a Casino. The lighthouse stands approximately 8 meters high and is rectangular at its base to a peak of about 3 and a half of meters, and is octagonal above that. The indoors of the lighthouse is cylindrical, with a spiral staircase in stone. The shape itself stands upon a pedestal base including steps, and is completed on the top with brackets assisting the eaves, upon which the metal housing of the lantern room also bureaucracy the roof.

The original lighthouse became constructed round 1300 by using the Genoese who traded at the port, to guide ships at sea from quite a number about nautical miles out to the small port of Constan?a. It turned into rebuilt among 1858-1860 by French-Armenian engineer Artin Aslan, by means of order of the British-owned Danube and Black Sea Railway Company, to honor the Genoese traders who set up a flourishing sea exchange network.
