Born from the Atlantic Ocean, the fishermen village of La Coruña has been for over 2,000 years the entrance and harbour to many cultures and citizens. This legacy is present in its history, art, legends and traditions, which are well blended with the modernity of the actual city of La Coruña.

The Tower of Hercules lighthouse is the symbol and reference point of La Coruña, although from time to rime it shares praises with the fishermen’s houses, well known because of their galleries overlooking the harbour, which gave La Coruña the nickname of City of Glass. Around the old lighthouse, there is a Celtic Park, an open-air museum of sculptures; and around the fishermen’s houses, there is the City Council Building.

The City Council building is placed in the breathtaking Square of Maria Pita, and next to The Old City: packed with its beautiful churches, squares, gardens and little streets. Pretty close to it and by the sea is the San Antón Castle, an archaeological museum nowadays.
