Jardín de San Carlos
These gardens near the Casa de la Cultura date from 1843 and cover the site of an old fortress that once guarded the harbor. Their views make the gardens a terrific picnic spot. Within the gardens is the tomb of Gen. John Moore, a British commander who fought unsuccessfully against Napoleon’s troops. He retreated with his British forces to A Coruña, where he was shot in a final battle.
