The English Cemetery

The English Cemetery in San Sebastián sits behind a high stone wall, marked by rows of weathered headstones and an iron gate that remains locked to the public. It serves as the final resting place for British soldiers who fought for the Queen of Spain during the First Carlist War in the eighteen thirties. The site commemorates the men who died defending the city, including those who fell during the final assault on the fort, and today, it holds the silent, moss-covered history of their sacrifice.
