Take a tour of Tower of Hercules in Spain -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.

Hi, I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions.

On the northern coast of Spain is an incredible and functioning piece of ancient history.

The Tower of Hercules is a Roman lighthouse dating back to at least the 2nd century.

It is the oldest working lighthouse in the world and is incredibly well preserved.

Its origin is shrouded in myth, one of which claims that Hercules killed a giant here.

Another myth claims that a Celtic king built it and discovered Ireland from the top.

The Tower of Hercules certainly does offer an impressive panoramic view of the Atlantic.

Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.

  • @fireeater999cmcc True that, man. Also, I wish the blonde in these videos would at least make the effort to pronounce "Ireland" correctly. :P

  • Uhm... the oldest functioning lighthouse in the world is Hook Head lighthouse in Wexford, Ireland!!
