What travelers say:

The St. Termo Museum is a good place to learn about the city of San Sebastian. It is one of the oldest and newest museums in the Basque Autonomous Region. The Cathedral of St. Termo is also part of the museum, so the exhibition is very rich. A comprehensive display of the history, folk customs, culture, art, social form of the Basques and San Sebastian city. I passed by on Tuesday and it was a free ticket day. In the impression, I have visited at least five exhibitions, including collection and finishing studies on religious paintings and sculptures on human structure after the development of science and anatomy, and studies on prehistoric rock paintings and cultural relics showing Asia-Europe Lion (now absent), folklore, diet, life, The history of production is presented, there are monuments and plaque exhibitions, as well as the magnificent mural exhibition in Santormo Church. The murals are particularly spectacular and regrettable, with records of local myths and legends, historical events, medieval whaling and shipbuilding. Because I couldn't take pictures, I retook two frescoes of myths and legends in the introduction manual: the vertical mural depicts the Guernica tree, which is a symbol of Vasconia (Basque) freedom, and an open giant book at the foot of the ancient oak tree. Symbolizing Biscay's right. Another mural depicts a stone rising like a watchtower in the storm-ravaged sea. Cling on a tree, St. Termo, the guardian saint of fishermen, and holding a cane, rescue a boat that was about to capsize.
