"From this privileged watchtower you can see the entire Gulf of Ártabro, which extends from Cape San Adrián to Cape Prior, a large area in which the Sisargas Islands, the islands of San Pedro, A Marola and As Gabeiras are located, as well as the entrance to the Burgo, Betanzos, Ares and Ferrol estuaries. Due to its location, this park surrounding the Tower is an observatory from which you can often see bird species such as cormorants, seagulls, arcas and guillemots that have their nests in the nearby cliffs.
The numerous paths that run through the entire area, considered in the municipal planning as a Natural Area of Local Interest (ENIL), allow visitors to enjoy a natural environment with native flora of undoubted ecological value.
This open-air museum extends across the Torre peninsula, Punta Herminia, O Acoroado and Cabal de Pradeira, over 47 hectares, which coincide with the limits of the so-called "core zone", the area of influence of the Torre, in the context of the World Heritage. The sculptures are distributed in the green space surrounding the Torre, in a very suggestive play of perspectives and in permanent dialogue with the monument. The chosen artistic theme can be arranged around various paths, related to history, mythology and legends.
In this sculptural space, pre-existing elements have been integrated, including Monte dos Bicos, the Moro Cemetery and the beacons that aid navigation."
