Chapel of Saint Peter of the Seafarers
The Capilla de San Pedro de los Mareantes is a modest chapel with eclectic design and neogothic influences, situated in the La Jarana district of San Sebastián's port, at the foot of Monte Urgull. Opened on 27 June 1896, it was conceived by its founders, merchant José Loidi Alcorta and his wife María Josefa Zulaica Alberdi, as both a place of worship and a family burial chapel. What to see includes its distinctive architectural style and historic significance to the maritime community.
Portaaviones Building
The Lonja del Portaaviones is a reinforced concrete building constructed in 1943 on the Kaimingantxo wharf in San Sebastián's fishing harbour. Its distinctive name comes from the bold overhanging canopy that defines its profile. Originally designed as a functional storage facility for wooden crates from the fishing fleet, it underwent restoration in 2019 that highlighted the original structure and remarkable roofline. What to see: the striking modernist architecture and the working harbour setting.
Sea Gate (Portaletas)
Portaletas, also known as Puerta del Mar, is a medieval gateway that once connected San Sebastián's port to the Parte Vieja. Built in the late 15th century, it's one of the few surviving structures from the city's original fortifications and the most significant defensive structure along the waterfront. What to see here includes the stone archway and its historical significance to San Sebastián's maritime heritage, making it an essential visit for understanding the city's walled past.
Wall of the Catholic Monarchs
The Lienzo de muralla de los Reyes Católicos stands as San Sebastián's oldest surviving structure, erected in the late 15th century as part of the city's maritime defence system. The wall retains its original gun ports and defensive features, whilst a walkway along its upper section offers views across the bay and harbour. What to see here includes the intact defensive architecture and vantage points overlooking the waterfront.
