Fisterra Lighthouse Print, LA CORUÑA

Art print from the Spain Series. Fisterra Lighthouse in A Coruña

This place was considered for centuries the limit of the known lands, the border of the Afterlife, the End of the World.
The point is a cliff rising from the feared islets of O Petonciño and A Centola to the mountain of O Facho (242 m) where it seems that the Ara Solis of Antiquity was located for the celebration of solar rites.
Since the beginning of time, Fisterra has evoked an unfathomable mystery in the soul of humankind. Open to the immensity of the Atlantic Ocean, it rests in the mythology of the first inhabitants of Europe. The ancients believed that the earthly world gave way, with the arrival of death, to another existence on an island located to the west, where the sun set.
