Many [[lighthouses]] were built around the Mediterranean and the coasts of the empire, including the [[Tower of Hercules]] at [[A Coruña]] in northern Spain, a structure which survives to this day. A smaller lighthouse at [[Dover]], England also exists as a ruin about half the height of the original. The light would have been provided by a fire at the top of the structure.
