Mary Pita was a brave woman. When Spain was fighting with England, our heroine fought againt English people.
La Coruña , city situated in the north of Spain was a point to be conquered to England since is near the English Coast.
Mary Pita tried to organicer differente defensive points in an intelligent way. Although in those it was rare that a woman had any power, she was fighting to the end.
She died in the square that today has her name "Plaza de María Pita", where in front of her statue is the council.
This statue was a very original because in her hands she carries a lance and near her a flaming tourch that is always lit. It´s very nice!!!!
If you go to La Coruña you must visit this famous statue!
