Miramar Palace

About

Miramar Palace is one of San Sebastián’s most elegant landmarks, a seaside residence that blends royal history with the natural beauty of La Concha Bay. Built in the late 19th century for the Spanish royal family, the palace reflects an English‑style architectural influence, with its gabled roofs, refined interiors, and expansive gardens that cascade gently toward the shoreline. Although the building itself is not always open to the public, its surrounding park is a beloved space where locals and visitors stroll, relax, and enjoy some of the city’s most iconic views. The combination of manicured lawns, winding paths, and sweeping panoramas creates an atmosphere of calm and sophistication. As a symbol of San Sebastián’s aristocratic past and a cherished green space overlooking the sea, Miramar Palace remains an essential stop for anyone seeking beauty, history, and serenity in the heart of the city.
