Best Answer

Your question is in the present tense ("What is . . .") and since it no longer exists the answer is it has no size.

If you mean "What was the size of the Pharos at Alexandria?", it was estimated (not measured) at between 393 and 450 feet tall, with a lower section about 28 feet square, rising in gradually smaller sections. It stood on a platform at least 21 feet tall.

Since it no longer exists we can only rely on descriptions written by people who saw it in use in ancient and medieval times.

The height is estimated at 120 to 140 metres (around 400 to 450 feet) and the tower was about 8.5 metres (28 feet) square, built on a large platform 6.5 metres (21 feet) high.
