The Loyola sanctuary, classified as an asset of cultural interest, is located next to the course of the Urola river. It is one of the most emblematic buildings in the Basque Country. The monumental complex, which includes a basilica, a library, gardens and a museum, among other rooms, surrounds the birthplace of Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Company of Jesus.

Nice place to visit and take a walk, a well-kept construction and pampered by the Basques.
