The Sagrado Corazón (“Sacred Heart”) statue, measuring over 12 metres in height, has blessed the city since 1950 from the highest point of Monte Urgull. The statue itself rests upon a base which houses a chapel, making the entire monument more than 24 metres in height. Also known as the Cristo de la Mota, this monument is at one with the landscape of Donostia, and the statue, created by Federico Coullaut can be seen from four miles out to sea.

Monte Urgull is located at one end of La Concha Bay, watching over the city’s Old Quarter. It is one of the three major lungs of the city with tarmac walkways flanked by exotic vegetation which lead to lookout spots with picture-perfect panoramic views of San Sebastián.
