What to do in Socoa
We have selected five must-see places in and around Socoa:
-
Socoa Fort
Located in Ciboure, the Fort de Socoa was built in the time of King Henri IV, who wanted to make it an impregnable line of defense against Spanish troops. The project failed largely due to differences between the various localities. The building did not see the light of day until the reign of Louis XIII. Yet the fortress was far from infallible. It was conquered in 1636 by the Spanish, who named it Fort de Castille.
- Socoa lighthouse: Also in Ciboure, this lighthouse house overlooks the cliffs of the Urrugne corniche on one side, and the Socoa fort and Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay on the other. The building’s origins date back to the mid-19th century. It was built at the request of the Ciboure fishermen, who needed a lighthouse close to the Socoa fort.
- Eglise Saint-Vincent: Located a stone’s throw from Ciboure harbour, the church of Saint-Vincent is the heart of the historic town center. Essentially completed around 1575, the church is recognizable not only for its octagonal bell tower, but also for its rectangular shape and magnificent square paved with tombstones.
-
Récollets Convent
In 1610, accusations of witchcraft were poisoning relations between Ciboure and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. To calm the situation, the authorities decided to establish a convent between the two cities, under the aegis of the Récollets.
- Ciboure lighthouse: Located on Ciboure’s coastal path, the lighthouse was built in 1936 by André Pavlovsky, a French architect who played a major role in the development of Luzian architecture at the time.
