San Sebastian is a town on the Bay of Biscay, in Basque Country, only 21 km from the French border. It is known as Donostia in Euskera (Basque language), which is the second official language of the province along with Castellano. The town has a population of about 180,000s, and lies between the sea and Mount Urgull. The city's tumultuous history saw ups and downs in its role as a trade center, centuries of wars, sieges, bombings, fires, natural disasters and fierce political conflicts. A fortified military town, San Sebastian was twice demolished by fire: first in 1489, and again in 1813 when the Portuguese and English troops bombed heavily the French forces that held the city and burned it to the ground after they took it. Only a few buildings on the Calle de la Trinidad, today's Calle 31 de Agosto, survived. The survivors gathered in Zubieta and made the decision to rebuild the city from scratch.
