Galician Atlantic port beneath a Roman lighthouse
A Coruña is a Galician port city on a peninsula of the northwest Atlantic coast, served by its own airport. Its symbol is the Tower of Hercules, a working Roman-origin lighthouse and UNESCO site.
A port since Roman times, A Coruña was where the Spanish Armada set sail in 1588 and later withstood an English raid. It grew as a fishing, trading and glazed-balcony seafront city.
