Church Trail - Cidade Vella, A Coruña
Begin your journey into A Coruña's sacred history at the Porta Real Dársena bus stop, the gateway to the Old City (or Cidade Vella in Galician). Your path first leads you through the majestic Maria Pita Square, the city's vibrant heart, before you step into the serene atmosphere of the Parroquia de San Jorge.
From there, the trail guides you deeper into the medieval streetscape to the Colegiate de Santa María del Campo, a cornerstone of the city's faith. Continue your stroll to the secluded Convento de Santa Bárbara and then to the impressive Iglesia de Santo Domingo.
Next, you'll discover a fascinating historical cluster: the Iglesia de la Venerable Orden Tercera de San Francisco. This church stands right beside the Museo Histórico Militar and the evocative Ruinas Convento de San Francisco, offering a unique glimpse into the city's past.
Take a peaceful moment as the path winds through the charming, leafy park of Plaza de Azcarraga. Your final spiritual destination is the Iglesia de Santiago, one of the oldest and most significant churches in A Coruña.
After visiting this historic jewel, the route guides you on a pleasant walk back to the Porta Real Dársena, completing your comprehensive loop of the Old City's sacred treasures.
