Córdoba Jesuit Block Tour
Córdoba Jesuit Block Tour
Our tour of Córdoba's Jesuit Block will begin at the courtyard of the Historical Museum of the National University of Córdoba, where we'll meet at your chosen time. This illustrious institution of higher education, 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 National University of Cordoba, also called the UNC, we'll see the sculpture of Friar Fernando Trejo y Sanabria, who we'll discuss during the tour. Our visit to the UNC will then continue to the Salón de Grados (the former Chapel of the Spaniards) and the Main Library, which houses an outstanding bibliography.
After visiting the UNC, we'll see some other great buildings on the Jesuit Block from outside, such as the Colegio Nacional de Monserrat. Another building on this block is the Church of the Society of Jesus. Inside, we'll see the beautiful main altarpiece, which depicts the two founders of this religious order: St. Ignatius of Loyola on the left and St. Francis Xavier on the right.
To round off our tour of the block, we'll visit the Jesuit Domestic Chapel, which was built in the 17th century. Here, we'll learn more about the Cordovan legacy of the Jesuits.
Following 2 hours 30 minutes of sightseeing, it'll be time to conclude our tour on Colón Avenue, just a few metres away from the Jesuit Block. There, we'll visit the Jesuit Crypt of the Old Novitiate and reveal how it was discovered...
Monument closures
Both the Jesuit Domestic Chapel of the Jesuit Block and the Jesuit Crypt of the Old Novitiate on Colon Avenue will be visited according to availability, as both monuments may be closed on the day of the tour. We'll be sure to visit the other places mentioned in the description.
