La Mota Castle
La Mota Castle is an old fortress strategically located on the hilltop of Mount Urgull (Monte Orgullo), in San Sebastián, Spain. The city itself was built at the foot of Mount Urgull, a hill (mota) at the end of a peninsula. Apart from its location, the castle's primary defences were its thick walls and, over time, its integration with the city's overall fortifications.
