Santander's Historical and Artistic Gems
Santander’s landscape is defined by its defensive history and maritime identity. This collection spans from the 16th-century Renaissance architecture of the Palacio de Riva-Herrera to late 19th-century military fortifications like the Castillo de Corbanera and the Batería de San Pedro del Mar.
