Corunna (Spanish: La Coruña; English archaically: The Groyne) is the second largest city in Galicia in northwestern Spain, second only in size to the port of Vigo in Pontevedra Province. The city is the capital of A Coruña Province. It had been the Galician capital from 1563 to 1982 before that role was moved to Santiago de Compostela. Currently, the only official form of the name is the Galician one, A Coruña. Nonetheless, the Spanish form La Coruña is still widespread.
