La Coruña 1901: A Cartographic View of Galicia's Maritime Province
About the Item
This antique map for sale showcases the province of La Coruña (in Galician, A Coruña), located in the northwest of Spain, within the autonomous community of Galicia, as of the year 1901. It illustrates various geographic and infrastructural features:
The map highlights the rugged terrain of the region, including the Galician Massif and the coastal areas. La Coruña has a long coastline along the Atlantic Ocean, which is detailed on the map, including the distinctive rías (coastal inlets). Blue lines likely depict rivers and estuaries that are characteristic of Galician geography. Red lines indicate the network of roads and railways that connect the province's towns and cities, both internally and with neighboring regions. Cities, towns, and villages are marked, with La Coruña, the capital city, presumably being the most prominent. Dotted lines may represent the administrative boundaries within the province and its municipalities. A legend (Signos Convencionales) explains the symbols used on the map for provincial capitals, roads, railways, and other landmarks.
The coat of arms of La Coruña is prominently featured, showcasing heraldic elements that represent the province's historical and cultural identity.
About the province of La Coruña:
La Coruña is known for its rich history, including the Tower of Hercules, an ancient Roman lighthouse that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region is distinguished by its Celtic heritage, reflected in the language, music, and cultural traditions. The coastline is famous for its rías, which provide sheltered harbors and are home to rich marine life, making seafood a staple of the local cuisine. The province's economy historically relied on fishing, agriculture, and textiles, but has diversified to include industry and tourism. The region is also known for its inclement weather, with frequent rain contributing to its lush, green landscape. Galicia's festivals, such as the Saint James pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, attract visitors from around the world.
