The most significant natural attraction in La Coruna is Monte de San Pedro, which offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the coastal areas of the city. Defensive structures were once located on the mountain, and it is still possible to find evidence of that. Another great place to enjoy solitude is the area around Faro de Louro. It is here, away from civilization, that one can see that “old” Galicia fascinating with its serenity. It seems these places have been bypassed by the scientific and technological revolution, which is a great advantage of the area.
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).
