A Coruña (Spanish: La Coruña; Galician) 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.
The name A Coruña 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.
A Coruña 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 A Coruña itself.
