One Of The Legends Connected To The Tower's Origin Is That Of Breogán Of Irish Origin. "Breogán, Son Of Brath, Was The Celtic Leader That Subjected The Spanish Tribes. After Conquering The Whole Territory, He Founded The City Of Brigantia (La Coruña) And Built A Tower Along With It, Which He Named The Tower Of Breogán." (Nomination File, P. 65-66) The Tower Was "Of Such A Grand Height That His Sons Could See A Distant Green Shore From Its Top. The Glimpse Of That Distant Green Land Lured Them To Sail North To Ireland. According To The Legend, Breogán's Descendants Stayed In Ireland And Are The Celtic Ancestors Of The Current Irish People."
