The Lanterna di Genoa is an ornate ancient lighthouse that has stood since the 12th century but over time has been reconstructed.

It stands as the main lighthouse of the harbour and is an iconic landmark of the city.

After the tower of Hercules and the Kopu lighthouse, it is the oldest in the world.

A large icon of the city of Genoa is present on one side, and the top is crowned with a large glass light.
