Iako su postojali i drugi drevni svjetionici, Hercules Tower je najstariji preživjeli svjetionik na svijetu. Točan datum izgradnje tornja nije poznat, ali zapisi pokazuju da je postojao barem od 2. stoljeća poslije Krista. Možda ga je sagradio ili obnovio rimski car Trajan prema uzorku Aleksandrijskog svjetionika.
Natpis na temelju tornja kaže da je njegov arhitekt bio Guy Seville lupus iz Eminiuma (moderna Coimbra, Portugal) kao ponuda posvećena rimskom bogu rata Marsu. Toranj je obnovljen između 1788. i 1791. godine, a danas je svjetionik Nacionalni spomenik Španjolske. Također je UNESCO-ve Svjetske kulturne baštine od 2009.godine.
