Miramar Palace, Royal palace and university building between La Concha and Ondarreta beaches in San Sebastián, Spain.
The Miramar Palace stands on a hill overlooking La Concha Bay, featuring English architectural style with neo-Gothic elements and extensive gardens.
Queen María Cristina of Austria commissioned the palace in 1893 on land previously occupied by the Monastery of San Sebastián El Antiguo.
The palace now hosts summer courses from the University of the Basque Country and functions as a center for educational and cultural activities.
Visitors can explore the public gardens during designated hours and attend various events, including programs during the San Sebastián Film Festival.
The palace grounds contain a hidden rocky passage called El Pico del Loro, connecting La Concha Beach to Ondarreta Beach at low tide.
