The lighthouse of Alexandria lasted until the 1300s, until two earthquakes - one in 1303 and one in 1323. This caused great damage to the lighthouse, but failed to topple it. It finally toppled into the sea in 1326. A fort was built where it used to be. Remains of the lighthouse were found in 1994 underwater, and they are thinking about making it an underwater museum for divers.
