Tower of Hercules: The Lighthouse at the End of the World
The Tower of Hercules, located in A Coruña (Galicia), is not just a monument; it is an enduring symbol of navigation. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it holds the distinction of being the oldest Roman lighthouse in the world still in operation.
Originally built in the 2nd century AD by the architect Gaius Sevius Lupus, its imposing 55-meter structure has guided sailors across the treacherous waters of the Atlantic for nearly two millennia. Its current, understated silhouette, the result of the 18th-century Neoclassical renovation, encloses within its walls the remains of the original Roman construction.
This resin replica captures the essence of its robust architecture and rich history, allowing you to take home a piece of "Finis Terrae" (the End of the Earth) and the legend that says Hercules himself buried the head of the giant Geryon here after defeating him in battle.
Ideal for: History lovers, nautical collectors and those looking for an authentic souvenir of Galician heritage.
