Nice castle. At the end of the 16th century, Felipe II had San Antón Castle built on a small, rocky island, as a fortress for defending A Coruña port. As a result of successive restoration projects, it took on its current appearance at the end of the 18th century. It was also a prison until the middle of the 20th century. Since 1968 it has housed the municipal Archaeology and History Museum.

Entrance is €2 per person so it would be worth it even if it were empty walls. But it's not just empty walls, it's an archeology museum with quite a few things to see and the views are really nice. If you're here, don't think about it, just go in. Recommendation to management: all the writings are in Galician and Spanish only. It would be great to have them in English as well so that us international visitors can learn about your history too.

A short walk from the lovely cruise terminal, this castle also doubles up as an archaeological museum and houses a lot of military and other artifacts unearthed from the nearby area. The castle is a good wander and one can go to the top ramparts to enjoy a good view of the surrounding areas.

Nice little place to visit, only a 10 minute walk from cruise terminal, I visited from P&O Iona which diverted from a scheduled stop elsewhere. Cost we're very reasonable at €2.00 sadly tight Brits walked by.. Was a good 1hr spent and its not something I normally visit. Only wanted ship shots but spent more time there than expected

Closed on Monday..... From the outside it looks scaleable although best soften it with a naval bombardment first. Other than that, scenic. I would post more if I'd been able to actually go in...
