San Sebastian has witnessed several sieges and wars, particularly during the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1808 until 1813, Napoleon’s troops occupied the city but was later driven out by Anglo-Portuguese troops led by the Duke of Wellington whose army looted and ravaged the city. A street was named 31 de Agosto Street to serve as a reminder of this painful memory. 

However the Basque indomitable spirit helped rebuild the city that today is renowned throughout the world for its style and above all its cuisine.
