      • St Mary's church: The most important church in the Old City to protect fishers and sea travellers. It stands on the highest ground and would have been visible from any place in town and the sea.
      • Maria Pita Square: Coruna's main square is presided by the City Hall, and its name honours the memory of the local hero who was able to fight and repel Francis Drake assault in 1589.
      • Mendez Nunez Gardens: Botanical gardens and beautiful architecture of kiosks and halls of the early 20th century.
