We use The Sun Watcher with Active Pixel System detector and Image Processing(SWAP) imager onboard the Project for Onboard Autonomy 2 (PROBA2) mission tostudy the evolution of large-scale EUV structures in the solar corona observedthroughout Solar Cycle 24 (from 2010 to 2019). We discuss the evolution of theon-disk coronal features and at different heights above the solar surface basedon EUV intensity changes. We also look at the evolution of the corona inequatorial and polar regions and compare them at different phases of the solarcycle, as well as with sunspot number evolution and with the PROBA2/Lyman-AlphaRadiometer (LYRA) signal. The main results are as follows: The three timeseries (SWAP on-disk average brightness, sunspot number and LYRA irradiance)are very well correlated, with correlation coefficients around 0.9. The averagerotation rate of bright features at latitudes of +15, 0, and -15 degrees wasaround 15 degree/day throughout the period studied. A secondary peak in EUVaveraged intensity at the Poles was observed on the descending phase of SC24.These peaks (at North and South poles respectively) seem to be associated withthe start of the development of the (polar) coronal holes. Large-scale off-limbstructures were visible from around March 2010 to around March 2016, meaningthat they were absent at the minimum phase of solar activity. A fan at theNorth pole persisted for more than 11 Carrington rotations (February 2014 toMarch 2015), and it could be seen up to altitudes of 1.6 Rs.
