  The medieval Torre del Faro stood near the site later occupied by Fort San Carlos; its exact final physical fate is unresolved.

  Alternative specialist chronology: the octagonal work was completed and the light re-established in 1613. This is functional transfer, not movement of the medieval tower.

  APB chronology: work begun in 1613 was delayed by military concerns and the light transferred in 1617. Exact sequence remains open.
