Hercules Tower, A Coruña, Spain

Another new site is this Roman lighthouse at A Coruña, Galicia, northern Spain. Built in the second century AD or earlier, it is the oldest Roman lighthouse still being used as such. Several Roman roads are still in use in Europe and the Near East. The Romans knew how to build! 28/06/09
