Torre de Hércules
Beautiful Lighthouses
Standing majestically on the verdant Galician coast, this unique Roman lighthouse has been steadfastly guiding ships since the 2nd century AD. As the world's oldest functioning lighthouse, it's a marvel of ancient engineering with an impressive height of around 55 metres. Climb its 242 steps to be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Legend whispers it was built by Hercules himself after defeating an infamous giant. Its austere granite facade offers a delightful contrast against the azure sky, making it a photographer's paradise. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is steeped in history and maritime lore.
