What Are Antipodes? 5 Cities and Their Surprising Counterparts

A Coruña, the second-largest city in Spain's Galicia region, has a rich history dating back to ancient times.

One of the coastal city's most historic landmarks is the Tower of Hercules — a lighthouse built under ancient Roman control during the reign of Emperor Trajan (98 to 117 CE). After centuries of geopolitical change, A Coruña ended up under Spanish control and now serves as one of the country's chief ports. At the exact opposite end of the planet, you'll find Christchurch, A Coruña's antipode. It's the largest city on New Zealand's South Island, with an estimated population of just over 400,000. Evidence suggests the area was inhabited by Indigenous peoples as far back as 1250 CE, and it was later established one of New Zealand's first official cities on July 31, 1856.
