🇬🇧 Situated beside the Atlantic Ocean, A Coruña is a historic city whose history has maintained close links with its old fishing and commercial port.
The peninsula on which the Old City stands also contains the Tower of Hercules, one of the symbols of the city, which is an interesting Romanesque collection of streets, squares and medieval churches.
Although A Coruña may have begun as a Celtic settlement, the city began to take on greater historical importance in Roman times, when the port became a key location in navigation routes. This period is attested by the Tower of Hercules, the only working Roman lighthouse in the world, and the symbol of the city. Now an official National Monument, it was built in the early 2nd century, during the rule of Emperor Trajan. It has undergone many changes over the years, the latest in 1791, when Charles III commissioned the architect Giannini to restore the tower and replace its cladding.
The port has long been the scene of important historical events, such as the defeat in 1589 of the English privateer Francis Drake thanks to the resistance of the citizens, led by the heroic María Pita.

🇪🇸 Situada frente al Océano Atlántico, A Coruña es una ciudad cuya historia guarda un estrecho vínculo con su antiguo puerto pesquero y mercantil.
La península en la que se asienta la Ciudad Vieja alberga, además de la Torre de Hércules, uno de los símbolos de la ciudad, un interesante conjunto románico de calles, plazas e iglesias medievales.
Aunque el origen de A Coruña podría estar en un antiguo asentamiento celta, la historia de la ciudad comenzaría a cobrar relevancia ya en época romana, cuando el puerto coruñés se convirtió en un paso clave en las rutas de navegación. Testigo de la época es la Torre de Hércules, el único faro romano en funcionamiento y auténtico emblema de la ciudad. Actualmente declarado Monumento Nacional, fue construido a comienzos del siglo II bajo el mandato del emperador Trajano. Numerosas remodelaciones se han sucedido a lo largo de su historia, la última de ellas en 1791, cuando Carlos III mandó al arquitecto Giannini la restauración y el revestimiento del torreón.
Desde siempre, el puerto ha sido escenario de algunos de los más importantes acontecimientos históricos de la urbe, como la derrota en 1589 del corsario inglés Francis Drake gracias a la resistencia de los coruñeses encabezados por la heroína María Pita.

Hola! I've been traveling for the last two weeks on Cape Cod, so I haven't been watching too much YT, but I finally got a chance to watch this video. Enjoyed every minute of it. I really loved the last part of it on the ride out to Torre de Hercules. That coast is really beautiful. And as always, the final shot was perfect! Really enjoyed it. Hope you're having a great summer on the coast.

Hola! How's it going? I already imagined that you were enjoying your summer time or that you would be busy with work (much better the first option 😄) So I hope that you also had a great summer on Cape Cod or if you are still there, you continue to enjoy it. I'm glad you liked this tour. I agree with you, best part of the tour is the final part, the coast at sunset is really beautiful... only drawback was the strong wind. Thank you very much for finding a little time to watch this tour. Nos vemos! Take care

Una pena que sean mudos los vídeos. Hay zonas con lugares importantes que si no se conoce....no se sabe qué es. No se pueden compartir con familiares o amigos de otros países.... siento decirlo. Los edificios son importantes y marea solo ver....

Hola! Lo primero de todo, gracias por ver el vídeo y dejar un comentario. Lamento que el recorrido no haya sido de tu agrado. Supongo que cuando dices que los videos son mudos te refieres a que no doy información sobre lo que aparece tan solo dejo el sonido ambiente , la razón de esto es que no pretendo que mis recorridos sean unas guías turísticas, como otros videos que solo se centran en los monumentos mas representativos de cada ciudad y ofrecen información, mis recorridos lo que pretenden es ser una especie de paseo virtual por la ciudad para quien lo vea se sienta como si estuviera paseando en persona por allí de la manera más realista posible, que disfrute simplemente del paseo. Un saludo!
So beautoful❣I am very interested in your videos. So subscribe, new my friend
