You have probably of Alexandria. That city was by Alexander the Great.* It was famous for its librarya that housed 5'000'000 manuscripts, and, of course, for its lighthouse.
If you look up the word lighthouse in French, Italian or dictionaries, you will find pharos [fe9rns]. Pharos was the name of the island near
Alexandria where the famous lighthouse stood. So the lighthouse is known as the Pharos of Alexandria.

The lighthouse was designed by the Greek architect Sostratos. It was finished in about 280 BC.* The tower was 120-metres high. It was мейд of stone. One part of the tower was decorated with many bronze statues. The lighthouse was
famous for many reasons. The Pharos of Alexandria was the tallest building on Earth. It was one of the most beautiful buildings of the ancient world. Its mirror was a mystery.2 It could reflect3 light more than fifty kilometres away.
Legend says that the mysterious mirror could even destroy enemy ships before they got to Alexandria. The lighthouse showed many ships the way to Alexandria.
