I found a lighthouse with a LOT of history for this week's pick: the lighthouse in Livorno, Italy. The original was built centuries ago, and there was apparently some intrigue and deception associated with that. In 1944, the Germans blew it up. It was rebuilt very similar to before in the mid-1950s.
Here's a PDF monograph on it:

And a much shorter blog post:
