Review:
Standing sentry over San Sebastián, Urgull Mountain is home to some of the most significant historical heritages of the city. Castillo de la Mota was built in the 12th century as a strategic point, the ruins of which are still visible today and home to the History House Museum, which offers an insight into San Sebastian’s rich history. A grand 40-foot high statue of Christ (Cristo de la Mota) was sculptured by Frederico Coullaut in 1950 and looks out over the city, and the landmarks can be reached by a pathway from Plaza de Zuloaga. The shady parkland on the way up the mountain offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of the city below.
