The Sanctuary Our Lady of Aranzazu is a Marian Catholic shrine located in Oñate, in the state of Guipúzcoa, where the Virgin of Aranzazu (patroness of the province) appeared in 1469. The building, built in the 50s, is the work of famous Spanish modernist architects such as Luis Laorga and Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza.
The church of San Pedro was built during the second half of the 18th century in a baroque style, particularly visible on the tower. The building was restored in 1991.
The monastery of Santa María de Estíbaliz is first mentioned in the 10th century.
The sanctuary and basilica of Loyola is a Baroque religious complex built around the birthplace of Ignacio de Loyola (1491-1556), founder of the Society of Jesus, known as the Jesuit. When, in the 17th century, the tower house where he was born was given to the Jesuits, they began to build a religious complex there. The current sanctuary was built in the 18th and 19th centuries.
