Province of A Coruña
The province of A Coruña (Galician: provincia da Coruña [pɾoˈβinθjɐ ðɐ koˈɾuɲɐ]; Spanish: provincia de La Coruña [la koˈɾuɲa] ⓘ; historical English: Corunna)[2] is the northwesternmost province of Spain, and one of the four provinces which constitute the autonomous community of Galicia.The history of this province starts at the end of the Middle Ages during the reign of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain.This is because in the 1833 territorial division of Spain the entire Province of Betanzos together with half of the Mondoñedo were amalgamated into one single province with its capital city in A Coruña.Until the second half of the 20th century, this province was both the religious and cultural centre of the entire region.The cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is the destination of the Way of St. James, a major historical pilgrimage route since the Middle Ages which still gathers thousands of pilgrims each year from all over the world.
