The mention of the death of Sir John Moore and his burial at La Coruña on Conrad Kinch's Joy and Forgetfulness blog, reminded me that I actually visited his tomb some years ago.
His tomb is in a small public garden overlooking the harbour of La Coruña.
It bears a suitable inscription ...
... and is accompanied by a bust that is mounted on a plinth.
The garden is a tranquil spot in an otherwise quite crowded area overlooking the main harbour, and just across the road is a small Spanish Army Museum that is well worth visiting.

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this.
Quite interesting. I am surprised there was no Latin inscription, but then I probably could not have read it !
Jubilo,
ReplyDeleteIt was my pleasure!
La Coruña is a very nice place to visit, with some unique old buildings as well as sea-facing fortifications that you can along. My wife and I have enjoyed two separate visits to the city.
All the best,
Bob
