One of the most outstanding Basque figures in history is Íñigo de Loyola (Saint Ignatius), founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), now spread all over the world. You’ll be impressed when you find the sanctuary church in the middle of the Urola valley, in an idyllic setting surrounded by mountains. The sanctuary site, a fine example of baroque architecture, is build on the site of the mediaeval fortified house where Íñigo de Loyola was born in 1491. Here in Loiola you can not only visit his birthplace but also find out about the circumstances of his turbulent life.

No hace falta ser católico para ir a Loyola. La magestuosidad de los árboles y jardines merecen la pena.

Es el edificio que se construyo como reliquiario para guardar la Casa Santa donde nació San Ignacio de Loyola. Ademas es un sitio estupendo para darse un paseo por su parque de arboles centenarios.
