Overview
After meeting at the appointed time in front of the sculpture of King Breogán, we will start our tour by talking about the history of this mythical character of the 11th century. Then we will walk to the famous Tower of Hercules.
Then we will walk towards the famous Tower of Hercules. Did you know that it is the only Roman lighthouse in the world that has been in use since the 2nd century A.D.? Why was it built on this hill in La Coruña? We will tell you all about it!
We will continue our free tour through the sculpture park, walking along the Atlantic shore. On our way, we will find sculptures such as the Figure of Charon in the House of Words, as well as menhirs and petroglyphs. What is the history and meaning of these peculiar figures?
We will then reach the Plaza de la Rosa de los Vientos, an impressive nautical symbol that hides an enigmatic meaning in its design. We will unveil the Celtic representations in this piece.
Finally, we will say goodbye at the initial meeting point after an hour and a half of sightseeing.
