I went to visit family and the birthplace of my paternal grandmother in 2018. My family in A Coruña told me I had to visit the historic lighthouse built by the Romans. It is an imposing edifice. Amazing that such a structure has survived for millenia. And against the backdrop of sea and cliffs, it is unforgettable. Nice walk up to the lighthouse and little museum at the bottom. If you are in A Coruña, make time to visit, you will not be disappointed.

It's a nice historic place and UNESCO world heritage site. The lighthouse itself is well preserved and renovated! by keeping the original design as much as possible. There is some controversy about the windows but you can read about it there! On its own the sight is not too special, but it's surrounded by beautiful scenery and nice coastal walks. The price to climb up the monument is more than fair and gives you a good impression of how the lighthouse changed over the years. Worth a visit if you are in the area, but not worth a big detour if you are not particularly interested in history. Including the coastal walks you can spend about 2h there.

Well worth the €3 to visit and book in advance to guarantee a timed entry. Beautifully restored Roman lighthouse with information boards in English at every leve and an amazing view from the top. One of the best restored monuments in Spain.

Stunning views from a historic tour and light house. Nice walk from the car park up, but it’s uneven if you have a pram or wheel chair. Toilets under the light house on the right as you walk up.

We took a cab from the port. Small ticket fee but very beautiful, historic and majestic place. We hiked to the top to enjoy the view. Ticket times manage the flow of people to avoid congestion on the narrow steps at the top. Had to walk about 1/2 mile to the taxi stop back to town but well worth it.
