Roman Lighthouse, Dover Castle, Kent

            Dover Castle is a medieval castle in Dover, Kent, and is Grade I listed. It was founded in the 11th century and has been described as the "Key to England" due to its defensive significance throughout history.

The site contains one of Dover's two Roman lighthouses (or pharoses), one of only three surviving Roman-era lighthouses in the world, and the tallest and most complete standing Roman structure in England. The early 2nd Century lighthouse is also claimed to be Britain's oldest standing building. The  lighthouse survived after being converted into a belfry in the Saxon era (c. 1000), having a new upper layer added c. 1430. The scant remains of the other Roman lighthouse, known as the Bredenstone or the Devil's Drop of Mortar, are located on the opposing Western Heights, across the town of Dover.
