Beautiful tower and location.Do you have any information about it?

[willo]

it's a turistic place of La Coruña, a city in northwest of spain.

you can visit it and reach the top where there's a balcony

it's 50 m tall

[Jose Luis]

too old for my taste

[waccamatt]

The fact that it has survived the centuries in excellent shape earns it a 9.5.

Yes, too was impresive for me, becouse i dont knew it. But the last summer i saw this painting in the History Museum from La Coruña city, it was a surprise for me.

More later i have read that the present structure was rebuild at 1791, although their origins are roman, of II century.
