Noria de San Sebastian

Noria de San Sebastian is a 19th-century waterwheel located in Donostia, Spain. The wooden structure is a hand-built piece of engineering, consisting of a seven-storey framework with a great wheel, driven by a 60 horsepower motor. Its main function is to lift water from the Urumea river to the higher lands of the Igueldo Mountain. The cascading waters of the waterwheel create a picturesque scenery, favoured by photographers and travelers alike.
