'Wheres the Waves??'

by weewatty

One thing which surprised me about La Coruna is the fact that right on the doorstep of the city centre lies a fab beach which stretches along the western side of the penisula which the city sits on.

Well worth a walk along the Avenida Pedro Barrie de la Meza which is the road which runds along the back of the beach, where you will be rewarded with numerous smart sculptures, see the pic for the smartest one depicting 2 surfers riding a wave!!!

	Castille de San Anton. Tip Rating:

Old Fort in S.E. Coruna

by dabidc

On one walk along the east side of the City I passed the Old Castle or Fort, I wish now That I had visited the location, for a better view of the harbour entrance.

No doubt the Fort or Castle was a defensive fortification to prevent enemies from attacking the more vulnerable south side of the City.

Big lump of Rock.

by weewatty

The Castillo de San Anton juts out from the headland, a fortress guarding the Port. The Castillo is actually built on a small island and has been artificially connected to the mainland.

Dating from the 16th century the impressive structure currently houses the Archaeological Museum which i did not visit unfortunately due to not having enough time.

If you're not afraid of going up lots of steps this is your place! From the top you have a great view of the city. I thought I would not reach the top but I did. It took me some minutes to take my breath back. It's very windy up there so be careful with hats, glasses, etc.
This is the oldest monument of the city. Was built in the second century a.c., in the time of the emperor Trajano and restored in the XVIII century. It's the only roman lighthouse in the world and at present time it also works as such.

	Castillo de San Antón Tip Rating:

This castle which was a fortress at the end of the XVI century is now the Archeological Museum of A Coruña. It's very nice walking in this place, seems like you come back in time. While looking out of the towers, to the sea, you think that a XVII century ship will appearn at any time int he horizon.

Timetable:
Winter: from Tuesday to Saturday 10-19h
Summer: Tuesday to Saturday 10-21
Mondays closed. Sundays 10-14.30 (all year).

	Celtic Park Tip Rating:

Coruña Page by arlequin_g

by arlequin_g

This place is in the north side of the city, very close to Torre de Hércules. I loved the contrast of the green grass with the dark blue sea and the white of the sculptures. I had a good time here taking photos. Though this sculptures look like prehistoric ones they're not, they were built some decades ago by Manuel Paz.

Directions: From the Hercules Tower go along the cliff, to the east side and you'll get here.

Gold Domes.

by weewatty

In the Plaza de Maria Pita you will find the Palacio Municipal which is La Coruna's rather fine Town Hall. The Gold Dome's of the Palacio are really striking and its setting in a spacious square is very fitting.

Statue of Maria Pita, La
Coruña

by bambino36

The Plaza de Maria Pita divides the old town from the new.
Maria Pita, a local housewife, was said to have spotted the approach of Drake's troops and risking her own life, she fired a cannon shot to alert the citizens to an imminent invasion. For that heroic act she is revered.

	Better view of the top of the lighthouse. Tip Rating:

Updated By dabidc on July 5, 2004

Across the bay.

by dabidc

The lighthouse was my reference point as I walked around the bay. It was almost always visible and helped give some scale to the size of the bay as well as the buildings around the bay.

The south end of the bay is Playa de Riazor.
