Amongst the green, hilly beauty of the Basque country region, within the village of Azpeitia, the Sanctuary of Loyola lies along the river Urola. The highly expressive, and elaborately decorative architecture - known as a typically Spanish Baroque style, called Churrigueresque - embodies the structure of this shrine, basilica and museum that was once home to San Ignatius Lopéz de Loyola (Saint Ignatius of Loyola). The founder of the Jesuit order was once a soldier, who after having peculiar visions, turned and dedicated his life to priesthood. This order began a radical interpretation of Catholicism, which made its mark on both the New and Old World. The art museum on the site now houses various pieces of Saint Ignatius’ writings and belongings, as well as religious artefacts and objects that have been discovered over the centuries. There are also a number of separate edifices set around the grounds to commemorate other Jesuit saints. Saint Ignatius feast day is held on the 31st of July each year, and is a good time to visit the site as a ceremony and celebration is held. The large private gardens that stretch out to its west and the surrounding mountains of the region offer a pleasant and peaceful environment for visitors to the site, as well as guests staying at the affordable accommodation premises available. As its name suggests, the Sanctuary of Loyola, regardless of ones religious beliefs, indeed creates a ‘sanctuary’ for anyone.
