Notes:
The old lighthouse, located on the other side of the Danube, completely burned down in 1980, apparently as a result of arson. Several sources indicate that the current tower is 57 meters tall (187 feet) and that its maximum visible range is about 31 nautical miles. An organization, the Anonimul Foundation (Fundatia Anonimul), is planning to build a replica of the original lighthouse, to serve as a museum.
