Chillida Leku
An outdoor sculpture park created by sculptor Eduardo Chillida, with over 40 giant steel and stone works scattered across a 16th-century farmhouse and its pastures.
Chillida Leku lies in Hernani, about 10 kilometres south of San Sebastián. It is a sculpture park planned in his later years by Basque master sculptor Eduardo Chillida, creator of Wind Comb. In the 1980s he bought the 16th-century Basque farmhouse Zabalaga and converted it into an exhibition space.
He placed more than 40 giant weathering-steel and granite sculptures across about 11 hectares of rolling grassland and woodland, where the works blend into the natural landscape. The park opened in 2000, closed in 2011, and reopened in 2019 in partnership with the international gallery Hauser & Wirth.
Opening days are limited, so book in advance through the official website, where admission fees are also listed. You can reach it from San Sebastián by taxi or bus.
