	* The names of a few other public buildings on the mainland are known, but there is little information as to their actual position. None, however, are as famous as the building that stood on the eastern point of Pharos island. There, The Great Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, reputed to be 138 m (453 ft) high, was situated. The first Ptolemy began the project, and the second Ptolemy (Ptolemy II Philadelphus) completed it, at a total cost of 800 talents. It took 12 years to complete and served as a prototype for all later lighthouses in the world. The light was produced by a furnace at the top and the tower was built mostly with solid blocks of limestone. The Pharos lighthouse was destroyed by an earthquake in the 14th century, making it the second longest surviving ancient wonder, after the Great Pyramid of Giza. A temple of Hephaestus also stood on Pharos at the head of the mole.		* The names of a few other public buildings on the mainland are known, but there is little information as to their actual position.

	Heliopolis is the the western most district, the two harbors, the Heptastadion and the Lighthouse of Pharos. Countless ships in the styles of ancient Greece and Rome lie at anchor here, some drift from place to place while others are docked to be loaded or unloaded. Closest to the docks is the Grand Marketplace where dreaming mortals and Oneiroi haggle and trade goods both mundane and fantastic. And here the Library of Alexander still stands with its endless racks of scrolls hidden partially in shadow while half seen forms flit among the twilight columns. The entire district is lit by the hot afternoon rays of a sun that refuses to set.		Heliopolis is the the western most district, the two harbors, the Heptastadion and the Lighthouse of Pharos.
