La Coruna
La Coruña (Spanish: La Coruña; Galician: A Coruña; also Corunna in English, and archaically The Groyne) is the second largest city in Galicia in northwestern Spain, second only in size to the port of Vigo in the Pontevedra Province. The city is also the capital of A Coruña Province and it was the capital of Galicia from the year 1563 to 1982 when it moved to Santiago de Compostela.
The name La Coruna is said to be derived from the ancient columna, or Tower of Hercules, which still exists, having been converted into a light-house in 1791.
La Coruna is a busy port located on a promontory in the entrance of an estuary in a large gulf (the Portus Magnus Artabrorum of the classical geographers) on the Atlantic Ocean. It provides a distribution point for agricultural goods from the region. Although much of the heavy industry is based on the shipyards and metalworks of the neighbouring city of Ferrol, there is an oil refinery in La Coruna itself.
