Cathedral Buen Pastor de San Sebastián
Built between 1888 and 1897 in Neo-Gothic style, it’s the main cathedral of the city and seat of the Diocese. The sandstone structure and 75m spire make it one of the defining landmarks of San Sebastián, and inside you’ve got a full vaulted nave, stained glass, and a high altar dedicated to Christ the Good Shepherd. It was elevated to cathedral status in 1953.
More interestingly, the Holy Week processions have returned across the region. These include traditional Semana Santa penitential processions, where confraternities (hermandades) carry religious statues through the streets, often depicting scenes from the Passion of Christ. Participants wear traditional robes, some walk in silence or barefoot as an act of penance, and the processions are accompanied by drums or solemn music.
