Santander Crane Monument

The Grúa de Piedra stands 14 meters tall near the waterfront, featuring a metal structure that represents industrial engineering from the early 1900s.

Built on May 17, 1900, this crane served as an essential component of port operations, facilitating maritime trade during Santander's commercial expansion period.

The monument preserves the memory of maritime workers and stands as a testament to the industrial development that shaped northern Spain's coastal communities.

Located along the public waterfront area, the crane monument offers clear views of the harbor and remains accessible throughout the year without entry fees.

The structure combines both functional industrial design and commemorative purposes, making it a rare example of preserved port equipment from the turn of the century.
