In the peaceful San Carlos Gardens, you will see the tomb of Sir John Moore and the plaque where the famous poem of Charles Wolfe on Moore's burial is inscribed. Arriving at the renowned Plaza Maria Pita, you'll be struck by the imposing collection of monumental municipal buildings. You'll also visit view the Archaeological Museum, located within the ancient fortress of the Castle of San Antón, and the Tower of Hercules before heading to the magnificent San Pedro Viewpoint, where you'll stop for an array of traditional Galician tapas while enjoying the stunning views overlooking the Tower of Hércules, Atlantic Ocean and La Coruña City.
