Standing on a grassy knoll and overlooking the North Atlantic Ocean, the Tower of Hercules is a well-preserved ancient lighthouse that has been a part of La Coruna’s skyline for centuries. As the world’s oldest known Roman lighthouse still standing, it offers a unique glimpse into the engineering prowess of the past. The tower, which is also the second tallest lighthouse in Spain, provides visitors with panoramic views of the city. Today, guests can explore its historical significance and enjoy the sweeping vistas from its vantage point.
