How many people visit The Pharos of Alexandria a year?

The Pharos of Alexandria does not exist anymore. It was severely damaged by earthquakes in 1303 and 1323, and ceased to exist completely in 1480, when the last remaining stump of its base was incorporated into a fort. A considerable number of the original stones can be seen on the floor of the harbour adjacent to the site, but you'll have to dive to see them.
