It is worth noting that in La Coruna one can find many interesting sculptures. The most original one is the Surf Sculpture (Fuente de Los Surfistas) dedicated to the most popular pastime on the beaches of the resort. Also, La Coruna has monuments to famous people (already mentioned John Moore and María Pita). It'd also be interesting to visit Plaza del Humor and admire the sense of humor of locals, here you can find a lot of interesting caricatures and sculptures. One should never pass by another religious attraction - namely, Parroquia San Nicolás. The Baroque church was built in the 18th century on the site of an older temple, from which only a chapel has remained. The building itself has remained unchanged since then (except for the facade, which dates from 1865).
Those who wish to get pleasant impressions from watching beautiful theater performances, opera, ballet or music concert should check the repertoire and then visit the Palacio de la Opera de La Coruna. The building's exterior is very attractive and thus hard to ignore. Formerly it housed the congress hall. Near the port is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau architecture - namely, the building called A Terraza. This is a series of white-gray buildings dating back to the early 20th century. The style is somewhat different from the typical Art Nouveau that many are used to: local architects brought changes to the architecture of the building - and this is how Galician Art Nouveau was formed (similar buildings can be seen in other cities of the region).
