Great Lighthouse #TEMPTED

Description
The Great Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world, was the highest lighthouse ever constructed up until the 20th century - between 115 and 160m (377 - 524ft). It was located next to the small island of Pharos outside of the port of Alexandria in Egypt and thus often itself named Pharos of Alexandria. Destroyed by two earthquakes in 1303 and 1323, the tower's stones were used to contruct a Mamluk fortress around 1480.

My contribution to the #TEMPTED competition.

Unique building level 4
Size: 8x12
Costs: 150.000 / 240


Tris: 3581
Textures: 1024x2048 (d, a, n)
LOD tris: 198
LOD textures: 512x1024 (d, a)

The lighthouse can be placed freely anywhere (i. e. sea, shore or land, see images above). It does not require a road connection, water or electricity, nor does it produce waste or noise - more a sort of decorative building, though it does attract tourists and visitors when accessible.

If you have any questions or suggestions or notice any bugs , feel free to use the comments :)

Update: Added screenshot showing the lighthouse next to other popular landmarks.

Anyone figured out how to connect transit to this? Or, do you just live with the no transit zot?

Hey, if we're bringing up the hanging gardens, can I request the Ishtar Gate?

Can you make Hanging Gardens of Babylon, too?

An update to this nice building would be nice. Lighting would be possible by now...

Fun trivia, the Ottomans commisioned the French for a statue to put in it's place but when war broke out France gifted the statue to the USA. I hear it's sitting in the water somewhere in New York now :)
