About this place

This historic cemetery lies on the northern slopes of Monte Urgull, serving as the final resting place for British and Spanish soldiers who fell during the 1813 siege of San Sebastián. Quietly situated along the path up the mountain, it offers a poignant reminder of the Peninsular War. The cemetery is worth visiting as part of your ascent to the summit, providing both historical context and a moment of reflection amid the natural landscape.
