Cabildo de Arriba, Historical district in central Santander, Spain.

The Cabildo de Arriba district occupies a strategic position near the former San Pedro Gate, featuring narrow streets and traditional architecture from various periods.

The neighborhood expanded beyond the medieval walls during the 18th century, transforming from rural gardens into an urban settlement for nobles and clergy members.

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación represents the religious heritage of the district with its 18th-century baroque architectural elements.

Recent urban renewal initiatives focus on improving building conditions and safety measures throughout the district, particularly along Calle Isabel la Católica.

The district survived the great fire of 1941 that destroyed most of Santander's old town, preserving its original street layout and historical character.
