 7 Ancient WondersLighthouse of Alexandria - 280 BC 1oz .999 Silver Plated The Lighthouse of Alexandria stood on the island of Pharos in the harbor of Alexandria. At a height of more than 350 feet, the building was a marvel of engineering and a sublime monument that would become the model for all lighthouses to come after it. It was built by Sostratus of Cnidus in three stages, all sloping slightly inward; the lowest was square, the next octagonal, and the top cylindrical. A broad spiral ramp led to the top, where a fire burned at night.
