Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Olatz

The Hermitage of Nuestra Señora de Olatz stands along the road between Azpeitia and the Sanctuary of Loiola, featuring a semi-circular main door and wooden choir.

The Provincial Assembly of Gipuzkoa held their meetings at this religious site until the early eighteenth century, as documented by a white marble plaque.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola maintained a deep connection to this hermitage, establishing a tradition of daily prayer to the Virgin of Olatz.

The hermitage remains accessible to visitors daily and can be reached at Avenida Loiola in Azpeitia, with contact available through phone number +34943 151 878.

The interior contains a Gothic carving of the Virgin crafted from polychrome wood, representing the oldest religious sculpture in the hermitage.
