Castillo de San Antón
Castillo de San Antón, Renaissance castle and archaeological museum at harbor entrance, A Coruña, Spain.
The stone fortress stands on a small island connected to the mainland, featuring defensive walls, exhibition halls, and a maritime-themed ceramic wall display.
During the 16th century, the structure protected A Coruña from pirates and foreign invasions before its transformation into a museum in 1968.
The museum exhibits archaeological findings from Galicia, including the Leiro helmet, Xanceda torques, and medieval artifacts across three distinct exhibition sections.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 21:00 in summer months, with reduced hours from September through June.
Inside the castle grounds, visitors can examine an ancient cistern carved into rock and a reconstruction of the megalithic cist of Taraio.
