The Tower of Hercules, named the Brigantia Lighthouse until the 20th of one hundred years (after the traditional name of La Coruña, Brigantium), was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2009. The Tower of Hercules, a character of the city of A Corua where it stands, is pronounced to be the alone remaining Roman lookout in existence. It still serves the alike purpose it did in antiquity—warning ships contemporary, in the twenty-first century. Furthermore, it is a typical case of architectural mediation in an ancient memorial: in the 18th century, the Spanish engineer Eustaquio Giannini rebuilt the tower, applying experimental criteria and asserting the authenticity of the remembrance. For all these reasons, the Tower of Hercules is an exceptional yardstick through which the incident and evolution of the various signaling and guiding along route, often over water aid systems maybe studied fresh of our era to the day. For all these reasons also, in this affiliate of the book a explanatory analysis of the memorial is carried out, from a classical perspective and particularly from a constructive view.
