Facts and practical information

The Stone Crane is an old crane that served in the Port of Santander from 1900 until the end of the 20th century. It was used in the loading and unloading of merchant ships that docked next to it. Today it forms part of the city's promenade and has become one of the most representative symbols of the Cantabrian capital, as a reflection of its industrial and port tradition. It is located on the Maura or La Monja quay.
