The Plano de La Coruña of 1927 presents a fascinating portrait of this historic Galician port city at a moment of growth, modernization, and renewed maritime vitality. Created with the precision characteristic of early 20th-century Spanish cartography, the map captures A Coruña as both a historic Atlantic stronghold and a modernizing urban center.

The city’s distinctive peninsular geography dominates the composition, framed by the Bay of Orzán and the Port of La Coruña, long one of northern Spain’s most important harbors. The Tower of Hercules, the city’s ancient Roman lighthouse and enduring symbol, stands prominently at the northern edge, while the urban core—organized around the María Pita Square and the Old Town (Ciudad Vieja)—reveals a dense network of streets, churches, and civic buildings.

By 1927, La Coruña was undergoing significant expansion. The map documents the creation of new residential districts, industrial zones, and coastal promenades, as well as the development of railway and tram connections that linked the port to the wider region. These features reflect the city’s transformation into a vital hub of trade, shipbuilding, and administration during the interwar years.

Produced by the Instituto Geográfico y Estadístico, the Plano de La Coruña combines scientific precision with aesthetic refinement. It served both practical and civic purposes, illustrating the evolving urban structure while celebrating the city’s maritime identity and historic resilience.
