Claim: Porto di Po di Goro Lighthouse which is a structure aimed to emit light from a system of lamps was built in 1865, was replaced by another which was destroyed in 1945 from the retreating German troops and the current lighthouse was built in 1950.
Evidence: The first lighthouse was built in 1865 near the mouth of the Po river, but the progressive fluvial deposit turned away from the sea; today this lighthouse has been recovered and used as a birdwatching observatory. The old lighthouse was replaced by another which was destroyed in 1945 from the retreating German troops. The current lighthouse was built in 1950 and consists of a 2-storey red bricks keeper's house; the tower, 10 feet (3.0 m) high, with balcony and lantern is attached to the seaward side keeper's house. A lighthouse is a tower, building, or another type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways.
