Monastery of Bidaurreta, Gothic-Renaissance monastery in Oñati, Spain

The Monastery of Bidaurreta features a Latin Cross plan church with a single nave and two distinct altarpieces representing different architectural periods.

Juan López de Lazarraga, Secretary of the Royal Council and Accountant of the Catholic Monarchs, established this religious complex between 1510 and 1520.

The monastery maintains an active community of Poor Clare nuns who continue their religious traditions within these medieval stone walls.

Visitors need to contact the Oñati Tourist Office at 943 783 453 or turismo@onati.eus to arrange guided tours of the monastery.

In 2008, researchers discovered the oldest complete architectural plan of Seville Cathedral from the 16th century within the monastery walls.
