14. A Coruña is a city and municipality of Galicia, Norwest of Spain. It is the second-
largest 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 XVIth to the XIXth
centuries, and as a regional administrative centre between 1833 and 1982, before
being replaced by Santiago de Compostela.

16. A Coruña is a busy port located on
a promontory in the entrance of an estuary in a
large gulf (the Portus Magnus Artabrorum of the
classical geographers) on the Atlantic Ocean. It
provides a distribution point for agricultural
goods from the region. Although much of the
heavy industry is based on the shipyards and
metalworks of the neighbouring city
of Ferrol, there is an oil refinery in A Coruña
itself.

18. The Tower of Hercules is an ancient Roman lighthouse on a
peninsula about 2.4 kilometers (1.5 mi) from the centre of A
Coruña
Until the 20th century, the tower was known as the "Farum
Brigantium". The structure is 55 metres (180 ft) tall and
overlooks the North Atlantic coast of Spain. The
structure, almost 1900 years old and rehabilitated in 1791, is
the oldest Roman lighthouse in use today. There is a sculpture
garden featuring works by Pablo Serrano and Francisco Leiro
The Tower of Hercules is a National Monument of Spain, and
since June 27, 2009, has been a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. It is the second tallest lighthouse in Spain, after the Faro
de Chipiona.

20. Through the millennia many mythical stories of its origin have been told.
According to a myth that blends Celtic and Greco-Roman elements, the
hero Hercules slew the giant tyrant Geryon after three days and three
nights of continuous battle. Hercules then—in a Celtic gesture— buried
the head of Geryon with his weapons and ordered that a city be built on
the site. The lighthouse atop a skull and crossbones representing the
buried head of Hercules’ slain enemy appears in the coat-of-arms of the
city of Corunna.
Another legend embodied in the 11th-century compilation Lebor Gabala
Erren— the "Book of Invasions"— King Breogán, the founding father of
the Galician Celtic nation, constructed here a massive tower of such a
grand height that his sons could see a distant green shore from its top.
The glimpse of that distant green land lured them to sail north to Ireland.
A colossal statue of Breogán has been erected near the Tower.
