• The main square of the city is where discussions will take place about the life of María Pita, a prominent figure in A Coruña. • This area served as a hub for social and political activities, containing the Quartermaster's House, the Consistory, and the Artillery Warehouse. In the square, the Fountain of Desire, created in the Dungem workshops in Paris in 1870, is prominently featured. The fountain is topped with a bronze sculpture of a woman symbolizing desire and holding a lamppost in her right hand. Surrounded by planters and ash trees that form a natural canopy, it contributes to the square's beauty. • A church built in the Romanesque-ogival style between the 12th and 14th centuries can be found outside the old city walls, giving it its distinctive name. It has been recognized as a Heritage Site of Cultural Interest since 1931. • The garden is a notable green space in the Old City, designed as a "hortus conclusus" around the burial site of General Sir John Moore, a hero of the Battle of Elviña, who died in 1809. • The Galleries of the Navy, recognized as a significant symbol of A Coruña after the Tower of Hercules, are notable for their unique architecture, leading to the city's nickname, "The Crystal City." • The Plaza del Humor honors comedic figures, with its current layout designed by Galician writer and cartoonist Siro López in the early 1990s. This area formerly known as the Plaza de los Huevos, was named for the various products, including eggs, that were sold there. • Directly across from the Plaza del Humor is the San Agustín market, which features a striking parabolic roof. This market became an icon of A Coruña's modernity in the 1930s and is recognized as one of the most significant buildings from the first half of the twentieth century.
