Urgull Hill

Urgull is a hill by the ocean within the Basque city of San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain. The hill, rising to a height of 123 meters at its peak, shapes the city's coastline relief along with Mount Ulia and Igeldo. Urgull stands at the northern end of a peninsula between the river Urumea and the Bay of La Concha, and was formerly linked to the mainland by sand.

The hill became a defense point during the 12th century. The walls and the military structure were reinforced after the modern state boundaries took shape in the 16th century. The hill is topped by Mota Castle, a stronghold with headquarters, barracks, warehouses, a chapel and a 12 metre-long sculpture of Jesus Christ, which was added in 1950.
