Torre de Hércules
Europe’s oldest working lighthouse, this structure at the tip of A Coruña’s peninsula was first erected by the Romans in the 2nd century, although continued modernization has obscured its origins. A climb to the top provides great views of A Coruña’s bay and port. The tower is flanked by sweeping natural areas with seaside walkways, modern sculptures, and diverse bird life. Located on the headland guarding the harbor, the park feels wild and free and is preserved as a biodiversity sanctuary.
