    The Fountain of Fame is one of the two most emblematic and oldest in A Coruña. The work of the Compostela sculptor Antón Pernas, it inherits the Napoleonic splendor of the 18th century. Thus, it was made from plans dated September 19, 1791 and signed by Fernando Domínguez Romay.

      The church dedicated to Santigo, in La Coruña, is located in the Old City just 150 meters southeast of the Plaza de María Pita. It measures around 36 x 18 meters and is canonically oriented, with a slight deviation to the south. Chronologically it dates back to the second half of the 12th century and is the oldest in the city. Originally, the temple had a triple nave, but today, after fires and renovations, the best preserved part is its head. Inside, the three naves have disappeared, giving way to a hall floor to which the apses open.

        This church is dedicated to James the Elder (Santiago), who is probably (besides Peter and Paul) the most prominent apostle and national saint of Spain. The European network of Ways of Saint James, usually marked by the symbol of the yellow shell on a blue background, leads pilgrims to his tomb. This is in the Galician 'Santiago de Compostella', where he rests in a magnificent basilica built in his honor.
        The martyrdom (execution) of James is handed down by the evangelist Luke in the New Testament "Acts of the Apostles". The feast day of Saint James in the calendar of saints is July 25th.
