Discover the religious and cultural legacy of the Society of Jesus on our Córdoba Jesuit Block Tour, exploring a World Heritage Site.

Córdoba Jesuit Block Tour

The tour begins at the courtyard of the Historical Museum of the National University of Córdoba, where we'll meet at your chosen time. Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1613, this is the oldest university in Argentina and one of the oldest in Latin America.

In the cloister of the UNC, we’ll view the sculpture of Friar Fernando Trejo y Sanabria and continue to the Salón de Grados and the Main Library, which holds a notable collection of books.

After visiting the UNC, we'll see significant buildings on the Jesuit Block from the outside, including the Colegio Nacional de Monserrat and the Church of the Society of Jesus, which features a main altarpiece depicting St. Ignatius of Loyola and St. Francis Xavier.

We will conclude our tour at the Jesuit Domestic Chapel, built in the 17th century, to learn about the Jesuit legacy in Córdoba.

After 2 hours 30 minutes of sightseeing, we will finish on Colón Avenue, visiting the Jesuit Crypt of the Old Novitiate.
