More on A Coruña

Perhaps the most famous tourist sight in A Coruña is the Tower of Hercules, a lighthouse that dates back to the Roman period. It is today nearly two thousand years old, and has been in continuous use. No wonder that it is today inscribed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

The distinctive character of A Coruña is due to its glazed window balconies. Originally part of naval architecture, it became fashionable in the 18th century, when it was adopted in response to the city's often rainy weather.
