The Genoese Lighthouse (Romanian: Farul Genovez) is a lighthouse and historic monument situated on the waterfront of the city of Constanța, Romania,[1] behind a group of statues which has in its center the bust of Mihai Eminescu, sculpted by Oscar Han.

The interior of the lighthouse is cylindrical, with a spiral staircase in stone.

The structure itself stands upon a pedestal base consisting of two steps, and is finished at the top with brackets supporting the eaves, upon which the metal housing of the lantern room also forms the roof.

[2] The original lighthouse was built around 1300[3] by the Genoese who traded at the port, to guide ships at sea from a range of about two nautical miles out to the small port of Constanța.

[2] It was rebuilt between 1858 and 1860 by French-Armenian engineer Artin Aslan, by order of the British-owned Danube and Black Sea Railway Company, to honor the Genoese merchants who established a flourishing sea trade community.
