===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The town was founded long before Roman times. The arms show the tower of Hercules, a famous lighthouse in the city. The scallops are the badges of St. James (Santiago). A Coruña is close to [[Santiago de Compostela]] and many pelgrims came ashore in the harbour of A Coruña. '''[[Literature]]''': | |||
