サン・セバスティアンの観光スポット

Editor's Choice

San Sebastián’s cultural landscape is defined by its integration of avant-garde art and historical architecture. This selection features Eduardo Chillida’s Comb of the Wind and Jorge Oteiza’s Empty Construction, alongside the 12th-century Mota Castle on Mount Urgull. The city's maritime heritage is preserved at the Albaola shipyard, where a 16th-century whaling ship is being reconstructed, and the San Telmo Museum, housed in a former Dominican convent. Modernist landmarks like the Kursaal glass cubes and the Belle Époque Victoria Eugenia Theatre reflect the city’s role as a hub for international arts and film.
