Tower Of Hercules
The Tower Of Hercules is famous as the oldest still-functioning lighthouse in Europe. Originally built in the first century by the Romans, the tower was renovated in the late 18th century into the structure seen today. The base of the tower hosts an interesting museum, and its gardens boast a collection of exciting sculptures. The tower is a mile and a half north of the cruise port, an enjoyable walk along the city’s paseo maritimo (seafront promenade) or a short bus ride.

Santiago de Compostela
Long ago a shepherd was led by a bright star to the burial site of the Apostle James. The cathedral of Santiago de Compostela was constructed on this revered place and quickly became a magnet for pilgrims from across Spain. Today the cathedral stands at the center of a well preserved medieval town, complete with winding streets and ancient buildings. Santiago de Compostela is located about 50 miles inland of La Coruña, and can be reached by ship’s excursion, or train.
