A Coruña (Galician: [a koˈɾuɲa], Spanish: La Coruña [la koˈɾuɲa], English: Corunna, archaically The Groyne) is a city and municipality of Galicia, Spain. It is the second most populated city in the autonomous community and seventeenth overall in the country. The city is the provincial capital of the province of the same name, having also served as political capital of the Kingdom of Galicia from the 16th to the 19th centuries, and as a regional administrative centre between 1833 and 1982, before being replaced by Santiago de Compostela.

Emilia Pardo Bazan House Museum

A Casa-Museo atópase na casa na que viviu a afamada escritora Emilia Pardo Bazán. A autora caracterízase por ser unha muller de orixe ilustre e cultivadora de diversos xéneros literarios, con presenza activa na sociedade da época. Este edificio sitúase no actual número 11 da rúa Tabernas, na Cidade Vella da Coruña. A través das distintas salas, as visitas poderán coñecer a figura de Pardo Bazán, mergullándose na súa vida e a súa obra, así como no contexto histórico da Coruña e Madrid da segunda metade do século XIX e afondarán nas pegadas visibles hoxe en día da escritora. A casa na que a escritora pasou boa parte da súa vida, acolle a sede da Real Academia Galega por expresa vontade das herdeiras da condesa, en agradecemento á institución que a nomeou presidenta honoraria desde a súa fundación, o 30 de setembro de 1906.

Castle of San Anton

Reviewed By R4935FDdavidb - El Barco de Avila, Spain

The Castle has been a fortress, a governor's residence and a prison in its history and now houses the City's archaeological and historical museum. This has some good exhibits from Roman times as well as some gold treasures from the iron and bronze ages. The exhibits are well displayed on the ground floor which you enter through the parade ground - and here larger stone exhibits from the region are housed in the former powder stores. You can then see the cistern which supplied the fort with fresh water - a large cavernous space beneath the castle and a garden area with views over the harbour. Upstairs is the old Governor's residence and more modern dislpays, including the chapel. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this very well preserved monument. There is a fee of 3 euros to enter, but seniors get a reduction of 1 euro.
