La Sirena de Coruna

The Sirena de Coruna sits on the edge of the Bay of Orzan in the city of Coruna in northern Spain. She looks out over the water towards the rest of the city, waving to ships and boats in the bay, and greeting the setting sun each evening. She was created by Márgara Hernández Smet in 1995. She is also known as La Sirena del Orzán.  map

There is a wide public beach nearby and a walkway from the street level above down to this area where she can be viewed.

There is a legend that a young woman drowned here on Matadero Beach, and then later emerged from the sea as a mermaid to forever remind people of the dangers of the sea.
