Round is the best shape to resist the forces of the waves that might strike them, especially those in the middle of the sea, which might be struck from any direction.

Why could light from a tall lighthouse be seen from further away?

The curvature of the Earth creates the "horizon", which varies in distance depending on the height (elevation) of the land. Because the sea is uniformly "flat" in elevation, the only normal way to see farther is to climb to a higher part of the ship (for sailing ships, the masts). The same principle works in reverse for a lighthouse : it stands higher and so it "pokes up above the horizon". From the top of the lighthouse, you can see farther, and in turn be seen from farther away.
