The Ciudad Vieja (Old Town)

The history that has shaped the city still thrives in the area known as the Ciudad Vieja, where you can encounter the majesty of A Coruña's past.

The Ciudad Vieja

María Pita Square

The Plaza de María Pita, or María Pita Square, is presided over by a statue of the heroine of A Coruña for which it is named. María Pita Square was designed in the mid-nineteenth century, and on its north side is the Municipal Palace, an imposing modernist building begun by the architect Pedro Mariño in 1908, which you should not miss.

Avenida de la Marina

When the architect Juan de Ciórraga designed the façade of the Galerías de la Marina in the second half of the 19th century, he never imagined that his work would make such a mark on the city. A Coruña is home to the largest expanse of glass gallery windows in the world, and its charm was such that it even created a concept of its own: "The City of Glass".
