San Sebastian poster

Lotza's illustrated poster depicts the magnificent city of San Sebastian in all its splendor. With its view of La Concha Beach, the Sacred Heart statue, the town hall and the old quarter, this illustration captures the essence of this seaside town. San Sebastian, also known as Donostia in Basque, is located in the province of Guipuzcoa, in the Spanish Basque Country. The city is famous for its natural beauty and elegant architecture. La Concha Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, offering spectacular views of the mountains and the sea. The statue of the Sacred Heart, located on Urgull Mountain, is a symbol of the city. It was erected in 1950 in recognition of the city's protection during the Spanish Civil War. The town hall of San Sebastian is also an emblematic monument of the city, with its neoclassical architecture. The old quarter, also called Parte Vieja, is one of the liveliest areas of San Sebastian, with its narrow streets and historic buildings. There are also many tapas bars, restaurants and local shops. San Sebastian has a long history, dating back to Roman times. The city was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the centuries, and experienced significant growth in the 19th century with the arrival of wealthy tourists and Spanish nobility.
