The Genoese Lighthouse (Farul Genovez) is a lighthouse and historic monument on the waterfront of Constanța, Romania, near the Constanța Casino and behind a group of statues centred on a bust of Mihai Eminescu by Oscar Han. Its base is rectangular to about three and a half metres, rising into an octagonal shaft with a cylindrical interior and stone spiral staircase. Its inception is dated to 1300, and its height is variously reported from about 8 to 21 metres depending on the reference point.
