A Coruña, Spain

This beautiful mosaic disc is located at the base of the Hercules Tower. It is about the size of a helicopter pad and is made with blue mosaic divided into eight sections, each symbolizing a Celtic tribe. The disc or "Compass Rose" marks the spot at the lighthouse where the Celts divided themselves and went to eight different regions. Each region has a characteristic symbol which is depicted on the compass.


other sizes: small medium large auto
