San Sebastián City Hall

Highlight • Monument

This building is a special highlight in the center of the otherwise architecturally very attractive capital of the province of Gipuzkoa. It's not for nothing that the town hall of San Sebastian is one of the most photographed motifs in the city. The magnificent building impresses with its front made of gold-colored stone, which gives the town hall a noble and radiant appearance.

Puerto de San Sebastián

Highlight • Structure

Today's harbor is not particularly large, but it has managed to retain some of its old maritime charm.

Sacred Heart Statue on Mount Urgull

Highlight • Monument

A very special wild park area on the protective mountain behind the old city of Donostia. You can walk a lot, have a wonderful view over the city and the sea and visit a very interesting museum telling you the history of San Sebastian.

View from Monte Urgull

Highlight • Viewpoint

Urgull is a mountain in the city of San Sebastián in the Spanish Basque Country. It is mostly forested and forms the end of a promontory between La Concha Bay to the west and the mouth of the Urumea River to the east. In the north it falls directly into the Bay of Biscay, the port and old town are attached to its southern slope. Due to its location and the 12.5 meter high statue of Christ erected on its summit, it dominates the cityscape.

Due to its strategic importance, a castle was built on the mountain as early as the 12th century, which was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt and adapted to military requirements. Today it is known as Castillo de la Mota. In 1924 a military cemetery was inaugurated on the northern slope of the mountain for the British soldiers who fell in battle for the fortress in 1813 during the Napoleonic Wars. In the meantime, the Urgull has become a popular destination. (Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urgull)

View of San Sebastián Bay from Batería de Santiago

Highlight • Viewpoint

After some minute you will find the best view on the bay of San Sebastián. At the spot there is a small park with some benches as well as a small cafe that offers refreshments. Nearby you can visit the famous statue of Christ which is 12 meter high.

Besides the view point the Mount Urgull offers many small footpaths in the shadow of it's forest. A good opportunity to relax after some intense sightseeing.

Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

It is the true social center of Donostia. It is located at the foot of Mount Urgull and is one of the best places to taste the famous pintxos in the numerous bars between cobbled streets.
