Plaza de la Constitución

Within the centre of Parte Vieja (Old Town) is Constitución Square. Up until the forties, its central building was San Sebastian’s City Hall. We noticed the seal of San Sebastian above the Clock and the café tables at all corners within the square.
The balconies of the aesthetically coloured buildings that line the Square bear numbers left over from its past when it was used as a bullring. Even if you owned an apartment here, the City retained rights to the balconies, which it could sell as box seats. Residents of course could peak over the shoulders of the paying customers.
