Every monument has a story to tell. Check out Virgen del Carmen and learn a little about the city's history.

You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice when visiting Santurtzi. Virgen del Carmen is a good place to begin here, but there are lots of other worthy spots to enjoy. San Mames Stadium, Sopelana Beach, and University of Deusto Bilbao are close to the commemorative structure and will round out your day nicely.
