A few meters from the Tower of Hercules, in A Coruña, there is a park that the Galician's wanted to decorate to enhance its beauty more than 20 years ago. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmf1DZGB4A5J6okzYkhhNenjTSCU2LV3ngiAbPu5BUmaAQ/dsc00940.jpg) Thus, it was that in 2003 the Menhirs Park was inaugurated, a group of rocky constructions placed vertically that are intended to be a tribute to the Celtic culture that inhabited Galicia. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRB7pHzJUfFuwYTy16yx5BvLTpwHKbYR4rFy64yYUoqAk/dsc00941.jpg) It is rare not to find someone in this place playing photographically with the menhirs. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNVK5NYABPFFswpcmTzbRnPCnmYsnPnkKi5db2dia2jCb/dsc00950.jpg) They have the particularity of having all of them 2 or 4 holes from which one can see another menhir. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcmTPKN3NjnTg7C3wiKxUuxGKdoe3aTuBrwtXhYnviAL8/dsc00942.jpg) Or you can see other monuments of the place, like the Tower of Hercules. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmcTarf8FbH4P2qaBXDb4Ws92HgG4KqriBjaYGdFzbTkVz/img_9181.jpg) How beautiful is this lighthouse from Roman times that is still in use. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmSsm9d1JjJBTr2SenEgfSUbNahxVdEapkuKkP5WVuuqV6/dsc00909.jpg) From other menhirs, you can see a very special sculptural ensemble. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZNqPEtSea8GLtGLoQb1gBFgKmeKMoTPqUHRQLWNRGLpu/dsc00944.jpg) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPsEMW95veyf1FD3s9GSg6ZZLzSYSuuzfD4mdGpWzCaUN/dsc00945.jpg) It is very special when one sees it from the other perspective and sees several inscriptions on the different stones. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmRct8kaNbZDyq1xpPrfKVwqhaph1qaAopvLSJEA8ZWj8e/dsc00947.jpg) Some of these inscriptions are words of poets killed in the civil war, as Federico Garcia Lorca. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmctNgCtyrj3o9LcpKpu4uDdJnVopuJeNanYPpH5ovBLgc/dsc00948.jpg) And is that this monument is a tribute to the fallen in the Spanish Civil War in the early twenty-first century. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmctNgCtyrj3o9LcpKpu4uDdJnVopuJeNanYPpH5ovBLgc/dsc00948.jpg) I hope you liked this little piece of Galicia, located in the city of A Coruña. Best regards.
