History of LightHouses
Ancient Roman lighthouses are among the best preserved, and best known examples of
lighthouses from
Ancient History. One example is the
Hercules Tower in
A Coruña,
Spain. It must be remarked that lighthouses existed long before the
Roman Empire. One of the oldest lighthouses in North America must be El Castillo in
Tulum in
Mexico. This aid to navigation guided ancient
Mayan mariners from the
Caribbean Sea through a dangerous reef passage and probably dates from the
13th century. Other ancient Mayan lighthouse sites have been identified on
Cozumel and
Isla Mujeres.
