The walls surrounding San Sebastian began to collapse.

161
years ago

05 May 1863,

They began to demolish the walls surrounding San Sebastian. Many Donostiarras came to see the demolition works, while a choir sang a piece created expressly by the composer José Ramón Santesteban. Plaza Vieja was there, at the foot of the wall, starting from Calle Mayor and taking Calle San Gerónimo, formed by two buildings today with arches. What was a convulsive town became a city, slowly knocking down hundreds of villages that were outside the walls and laying the foundations of the urban business model with housing.
