Plaza de la Constitución, San Sebastián

Plaza de la Constitución is a 2,000 sq m square in the heart of San Sebastian Old Town.

Rectangular in shape and framed by 4-storey arcaded buildings this Baroque masterpiece was once a bull fighting arena. You can still see the former arena’s seat numbers written above each of the balconies that surround the square. Nowadays there are shops and bars instead, which make it a great place to browse and enjoy a drink.

Originally constructed in 1723, this plaza had to be rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in 1813.
