Parte Vieja, Donosti, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco, España.
Este va a ser el San Sebastián urbano desde su fundación a finales del siglo XII hasta el derribo de las murallas en 1863. De las antiguas murallas se conservan algunos restos en la zona del puerto (incluyendo una de las antiguas puertas denominada Portaletas). Sin embargo, el trazado del barrio es relativamente reciente, ya que se remonta al primer tercio del siglo XIX. Ello se debe al hecho de que la ciudad fue destruida prácticamente en su totalidad por el incendio y saqueo provocado por las tropas angloportuguesas durante la liberación de la ciudad el 31 de agosto de 1813, durante la Guerra de Independencia española.
Del incendio únicamente se salvó una manzana de casas en la calle de la Trinidad (bautizada posteriormente como 31 de agosto), donde se alojaban los oficiales ingleses y portugueses; y los edificios religiosos que por entonces tenía la ciudad: la basílica de Santa María del Coro, la iglesia de San Vicente y el convento de San Telmo -actualmente parte del Museo San Telmo-.
Destruida la ciudad, se reconstruyó en los 36 años siguientes, surgiendo así la actual Parte Vieja. El 22 de abril de 1863 se autorizó el derribo de las murallas según Real Orden por la que la ciudad dejó de ser plaza de guerra. En aquel momento San Sebastián tenía unos 15000 habitantes, de los que 10000 vivían en el recinto amurallado, de unas 10 hectáreas de superficie.
The Old Town (Basque: Parte Zaharra, sometimes Alde Zaharra) is the area corresponding to the historic center of the city of San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain. Located within the Centro district, its boundaries correspond to those of the old walled city of San Sebastián. It is located at the foot of Mount Urgull and includes the city's port. It has a total of 6,083 registered inhabitants.

The lighthouse of Genoa at dusk
The Lanterna, symbol of Genoa and most important lighthouse of the city, is a 77-metre-high tower, made of two blocks, square in section, roughly of the same height, and both with a projecting terrace.
Built on a rock of 40 metres of height, the top of the Lanterna stands therefore at 117 metres above the sea level. Its light is visible from more than 50 kilometres away.
The Lanterna has welcomed vessels and boats and guided them into the harbour for centuries. The Lanterna, as we see it today, was built in 1543; unofficial sources, however, date back to 1128 the building on this site of the first tower intended to assist navigators.
Today visitors can climb 172 steps, reach the first terrace (76 m above the sea level), and enjoy the breathtaking view of the port and the old city.
