Plaza de Maria Pita, La Coruna

This square is immense, and with various places to have or snack on a drink. In the end the emblematic building of the lobby and the center the iconic statue. This is a must-see when you go to The Coruña, and then get lost in the sea of little streets and alleys with excellent architecture.

Located in the center is without a doubt, the most emblematic square of La Coruña. Presided over by the imposing modernist building of the City Hall, its origins date back to the mid-19th century, when it was decided to build this space in homage to the heroine of the defense of The Coruña in 1589 against the Drake-Norreys expedition, fleet sent by the Queen Elizabeth I of England, an event that ended with the English defeat. In front of the town hall is the statue in bronze homage to the heroine, the 20th century work of Xosé Castiñeiras. In addition, we find several terraces of cafes and restaurants, serving as a framework on occasion for the celebration of events and activities.
