Abstract

We present in this work our research about the creation, between 1715 and 1722, of the New Square of Donostia - San Sebastián, by emptying a central space in the urban fabric "intra-walls". The square, with its City Hall and the surrounding houses, was built according to the design of the engineer architect, Hercules Torelli, from Pavia, Italy. Admired and taken as a model throughout the province of Gipuzkoa, it will have an entirely public management. Destroyed and rebuilt after the English assault of 1813, it will keep its plan and volume, being known today as the Constitution Square.
