La Coruna, Spain

: La Coruna is the capital of the province and a busy seaport situated in the Bay of Coruna.
La Coruna is a delight for sightseeing, not least because of the broad array of different architectural styles. These range from a splendid medieval quarter to excellent modernist buildings, including multi-story houses overlooking the waterfront which have unusual glass-covered balconies. The Torre De Hercules, said to be the world’s oldest lighthouse, towers almost 60m over the shoreline. The climb to the top gives spectacular views over the town and its surroundings.
The compact Ciudad Vieja – old quarter – is often referred to simply as “the city” and still has remains of the Roman wall that once protected it. There are tiny ancient churches here, such as the medieval Church of Santiago, as well as an impressive collection of galleries and museums, including the Museum of Sacred Art and the Military Museum.
