This lighthouse wrote some time ago a minicuento, therefore, for you to understand everything around him this creation I put a little summary information on the wikipedia. Tower of Hercules
The Tower of Hercules is a lighthouse with a total height of 68 meters. It has the privilege of being the only Roman lighthouse and the oldest in the world works.
The tower lost possibly its marine during the Middle Ages to become a fortress. The current facade is the result of a remodeling completed in the neoclassical S. XVIII.
Era, before the reform neoclassical, a prismatic body with a square base, on the outside had a stone wall with two doors on the bottom and asymmetric windows that traveled to the upper floor, and a gnawing worm that reached the top. Kept inside the old structure Roman, but with wooden stairs belonged to the restoration of the building, aligning it in your decor with top frames of doors and windows.
Mythology says that "there was a giant named Geryon, king of Brigantium, which forced his súdbitos to give half his assets, including their children. One day the subjects decided to seek help from Geryon Hercules challenged in a big fight. Hercules defeated Geryon, he buried and raised a mound topped with a large torch. Near this tomb built a city and as the first person to arrive was a woman named Coruña, Hercules put the city its name>>
Now that you know more about this tower, I will articulate my mythological version, personal and summarized in a few words, have to say much with so minicuento perhaps a little harsh, but at least I guess I find it magical.
To not remember what happened to the Garden of the Hesperides you explain it: In this garden gave golden fruit trees providing immortality, the garden was owned by Gaia to Hera married Zeus and this gave it as a wedding gift. So no one stole the apples were the Hesperides and the dreaded dragon with a hundred heads, Ladon, who guarded him. The fact is that Hercules managed to steal the apples and then comes this version of history and Tower Hercules.

BTW, I am among those who support the art that needs to be understood after a prior or subsequent explanation, but this time I invested my creative principles.
................................................ ........................................ The
minicuento could not exceed fifty words, including title. Here goes:
The last apple of the Hesperides
Yesterday, I hid the apples in the north. Gea warned me Heracles was eventually . The solution: plant a seed. He was born a tree and told me last night: What if Hera discovers ? His wrath burst. Today, besiege it under a blanket of stone.
