Description
A colorful, flower-decorated building in A Coruna, Galicia, Northwestern Spain. The Maria Pita square is probably A Coruna's main city plaza and takes its name from the town's heroine, Maria Pita. Maria Pita herself came to notoriety as a result of her role in Sir Francis Drake's attack on A Coruna in 1589 and she is credited with playing a critical part in reducing the losses of the Corunans during this assault. A new cultural museum in A Coruna has sections celebrating Pita's life and also acts to illuminate the period during which she lived. The square or plaza to which Pita gives her name is grand to say the least. The view from the main entrance, coming from the city's harbour side, is enhanced by the Town Hall and Council building (Palacio Municipal). The building is truly monumental, in both its scale and incredibly ornate detailing, and was built in the 20th century.
