A Coruña is located on a peninsula situated in the Atlantic Ocean, between the Orzán inlet and the entrance to its estuary, in the southern part of the Gulf of Ártabro. The most characteristic element of its architecture is the galleries; the most well-known are those of the Marina, near the María Pita square, where the Town Hall building is located. The city’s most famous monument is the Tower of Hercules, which was built in the 1st century by the Romans and later remodeled. It is the oldest functioning lighthouse in the world and was declared a World Heritage Site in 2009. Today, it is a very modern and dynamic city, with a wide range of leisure activities (culture, sports, gastronomy, tourism…). Its interactive museums stand out: the Domus or House of Man, the House of Sciences, and the House of Fish. Its motto is: “forbidden not to touch.”
