A Coruña

A Coruña has served as an Atlantic port in Galicia since Roman times. Set on a peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the Ría de A Coruña, the city extends from its compact historic centre to broad urban beaches. The Tower of Hercules, a Roman lighthouse and UNESCO World Heritage site, stands on the northern headland and remains the city’s defining symbol. A Coruña is also known for its glazed galerías, glass-fronted balconies along parts of the waterfront that inspired its nickname, the City of Glass. Its harbour, long seafront promenades and maritime climate give it a distinctly Atlantic identity. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Galicia connects regionally.
