It's a beautiful sanctuary. There's a voice activated guide to tell you about the history behind St. Ignatius of Loyola, the co-founder of the religious order called the Society of Jesus or Jesuits as we know them better. The Basilica of St. Ignatius of Loyola is built next to the house where he was born in Azpeitia, the Basque country, Spain. The house itself, now a museum, is incorporated into the basilica complex. We spent half of the day there, and loved every moment of it. There follows a legacy as till date we find many institutions dedicated to St. Ignatius.

Beautiful sanctuary. The basilica is impressive both outside and inside. The museum is also a great place to visit if you're interested in how the saint began his ministry. The sanctuary is also the starting point for the Camno Ignaciano and houses an albergue within the compound.

The story of Ignatius Loyola is really inspiring and here is his family home where his conversion took place as he recovered from a shattered leg. He'd been wounded in a battle in Pamplona and carried back there to recover. Nothing light and airy about the place and it attracts much more rain than pilgrims these days.

We had a very enjoyable visit and thought the adjacent museum to be well worth the couple of Euro entrance fee.

Very difficult to find the Sanctuary driving but finally we did it, and I can report it is a very interesting place for those interested in the story of Ignacio de Loyola. He was a Spanish Basque Catholic priest, who founded the religious order called the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). The Jesuit order served the Pope as missionaries, and they were bound by a vow of special obedience to the sovereign pontiff in regard to the missions. They therefore emerged as an important force during the time of the Counter - Reformation. Highly recommend for those who visit Basque Country.
