| Description |
La Torre de Hércules, en La Coruña (España). Es el faro en activo más antiguo del mundo. Construido en el siglo II d.C. por los romanos, aunque la mitología la atribuye a Hércules, su arquitecto fue en realidad Cayo Sevio Lupo, natural de Coímbra (hoy Portugal), que dedicó esta obra a Marte, el dios romano de la guerra. Su aspecto actual lo debe a la restauración que dirigió el ingeniero militar extremeño Eustaquio Giannini, por orden del rey Carlos III, entre 1788 y 1791. La torre tiene 49 metros de alto, está situada en las cordenadas 3º 23´N - 8º 24´W y su luz tiene un alcance de 24 millas. La luz del faro emite un grupo de 4 destellos cada 20 segundos.
