Aerial view of the Alexandria lighthouse (Alexandria). The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame.
The lighthouse overlooks the Mediterranean Sea and faces the city, shown in the distance inside a wall. It is accessible via a ramp. It has three levels: a square, slightly pyramidal base, an octagonal tower and a circular, columned aedicula crowned by a statue. White smoke billows from it.
