The Genoese Lighthouse is a historic tower built in the 13th century by Genoese merchants to guide ships into Constanța's port. Standing on a bluff near the old town, it offers sweeping panoramic views of the Black Sea and the city's coastline. Visitors can climb the narrow spiral staircase to the top for a rewarding vista, and explore the surrounding area which includes remnants of ancient walls. The lighthouse is a testament to the city's maritime trading history.
