The Lighthouse of Genoa (Italian: faro di Genova but simply called Lanterna) is the main lighthouse for the city’s port. Besides being an important aid to night navigation in the vicinity the tower serves as a symbol for the City of Genoa and is one of the oldest standing structures of its kind in the world. It is built on the hill of San Benigno at some little distance from the Sampierdarena neighborhood.
