ハイライト

  • Walk through La Coruña’s atmospheric Old Town as the sun begins to set.

説明

Stroll through the historical heart of La Coruña in the early evening and watch the sun dip below the horizon from the site of one of the world’s oldest, still-operating lighthouses. Founded in the 12th century, Santiago Church may be the most recognizable landmark in La Coruña. The story behind Maria Pita Square is just as inspiring as it was named for the woman who heroically defended the city when Sir Francis Drake attacked in 1589. During the scenic drive that follows, you will pass botanical gardens built on reclaimed land and San Anton Castle, a 16th-century fortification that overlooks the sea. You will watch the sunset from the grounds of the Tower of Hercules, which the Romans built in the 2nd century A.D. The tower is so architecturally and archaeologically important that UNESCO declared it a World Heritage site. Feel free to meander about the surrounding park, whose sculptures depict legends related to the tower.
