  • Located in Azpeitia
  • The most important religious center of the Basque Country.
    • In the middle of valley of Urola stands the huge Sanctuary of St Ignatius of Loyola, as a heartfelt tribute of the figure and his work from the city which witnessed the birth of the founder of the Jesuit order, the Brotherhood of Jesus. It was built in 17th century by the Italian architect Carlo Fontana, who chose to use the Roman baroque style that was all the rage at the time. The basilica is spectacular in size, only slightly smaller than St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, and majestic in appearance.
