Castle of San Antón - fortress built between the 16th and the 17th century, in a small island of the Bay of La Coruña, to defend the city against attacks coming from the sea. During the English assault by Francis Drake in 1589, the castle effectively served to defend the entrance to the city. Today, the castle is the venue for the archeology and history museum of la Coruña (Museo Arqueológico e Histórico), opened in October 1968.
