This admiralty lighthouse adorns Bordj el-Fanar, an impregnable city built between 1541 and 1544 by Hassan Pacha.

In 1511, Pedro Navarro had a circular bastion with cannons built on one of the offshore islets, the Penon. Kher-Eddine wrested the Penon from the Spaniards in 1529, joined the islets to the port and built a pier to protect the city and the port. The pulse of the city was measured in the dock since it is there that were prepared the expeditions of the privateers who made Algiers an impregnable city. The Bordj El Fanar, later embellished by the lighthouse, was built between 1541 and 1544 by Hassan Pacha who also installed the first batteries.
