Santa Margarita Park
Santa Margarita Park is a 51,723 m² green space in the city centre. Surrounded by pine and eucalyptus trees and traditions such as the Santa Margarita pilgrimage, it stands out for a 60-metre hill with the remains of old mills. It houses the Casa de las Ciencias, an interactive museum in a small palace from the 1940s and the Fuente de la Bola, an orbicular granite structure weighing 1,500 kilos.
The park is home to a varied tree mass with 70 species from different continents, including Spanish fir, mimosa, oak and magnolia. Various birds, such as woodpeckers and thrushes, inhabit the park. In addition to a pond, children's playground and an open-air amphitheatre, there is an Opera House and an artificial waterfall on a stone wall. You can see other ornamental elements such as cruceiros and hórreos, especially the 16th century stone hórreo fisterrán.
The sculpture of old men by X. Piñeiro and the mural on Avenida de Arteixo are highlights. In addition, the climb to the Casa de las Ciencias, in honour of Joaquín Costa, is a busy garden area.
The Opera House
The Palacio de la Ópera de A Coruña, inaugurated in 1989, is an outstanding cultural centre and has been the headquarters of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia (Galician Symphony Orchestra) since 1992. Set in the quarry of the Santa Margarita Park, its post-modern architecture makes it an icon of the city. Originally conceived as a Conference Centre, it has a main hall for 1805 people, a conference hall, a stage, conference rooms, exhibition halls, a restaurant and administrative offices. After adaptations in 1999, the Palace hosts opera, theatre and concerts, consolidating itself as a cultural reference in La Coruña with a high annual occupancy.
The Palacio de la Ópera is unique in Europe due to its singular characteristics, allowing it to offer both symphonic music and operatic performances with acoustic quality.
