Satrustegi Tower, Donostia-San Sebastián

The stone structure features a central facade with two hexagonal towers and crenellated walls, creating a castle-like appearance near Igueldo Mountain.

Built between 1883 and 1885 under architect Seldon Wornun's direction, the tower represents a period of architectural innovation in the Basque region.

The Satrustegi Tower forms part of the Camino del Norte pilgrimage route and maintains status as an official Basque government heritage site.

The interior structure centers around a main staircase covered by a skylight, with notable wooden floors and paneling throughout multiple levels.

The surrounding gardens, designed by Pierre Duchase who also created Miramar Palace gardens, incorporate rotundas and pathways among mature trees.
