Discover the religious and cultural legacy of the Society of Jesus on our Córdoba Jesuit Block Tour. We'll explore this monumental space, which has been declared a World Heritage Site.

Córdoba Jesuit Block Tour

Our tour will begin at the courtyard of the Historical Museum of the National University of Córdoba, where we'll meet at your chosen time. This institution, founded by the Society of Jesus in 1613, is the oldest university in Argentina and one of the oldest in Latin America.

In the cloister of the UNC, we'll see the sculpture of Friar Fernando Trejo y Sanabria. The visit will continue to the Salón de Grados and the Main Library, which houses an outstanding bibliography.

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

We will conclude our tour with a visit to the Jesuit Domestic Chapel, built in the 17th century, to learn more about the Jesuits' legacy in Córdoba. After 2 hours 30 minutes of sightseeing, we'll end at Colón Avenue, where we'll visit the Jesuit Crypt of the Old Novitiate.
