Tower of Hercules
CultureVisit: ~45 minFrom €3
The Tower of Hercules is a 55-metre-high Roman lighthouse that is still in operation and stands on a hill on the outskirts of central A Coruña. Inside, you climb 239 steps to the top, where part of the original Roman masonry is preserved alongside the 18th-century Neoclassical remodelling. At the foot of the tower is a votive stone identifying the architect Gaius Sevius Lupus, and the surroundings include an open-air sculpture park with more than fifteen works by 20th-century artists, as well as paths that run along the Atlantic coast cliffs.
