Socoa poster

Let's now go to Socoa, a commune of Ciboure, in the Basque Country with this original work by Lotza. The Socoa fort was built in 1636 by the French engineer Jean-Baptiste Dupuy de la Serra, with the aim of defending the coast against maritime attacks. During the French Revolution, the fort was converted into a prison for refractory nobles and priests. Later it was used as a military hospital, barracks and ammunition depot. Over the years, Socoa has become a destination of choice for tourists looking to relax on its sandy beaches and explore its historical heritage. Visitors can stroll through the city streets and admire the traditional Basque houses, as well as enjoy the many restaurants offering local specialties. Lotza's poster depicts the natural beauty of Socoa, with its crystal clear waters and iconic fort. This illustration is a great way to capture the spirit of this historic town and bring back unforgettable memories for those who have visited Socoa or dream of doing so.
