Cripta Jesuítica Córdoba, History museum in Córdoba, Argentina.

The Cripta Jesuítica is a series of vaulted stone chambers buried beneath Avenida Colón in the city center, connected by underground passages on both sides of the street. The space displays original stonework and barrel vaults with visible construction techniques from its colonial period origins.

The Jesuit novitiate was founded in Córdoba in 1608; in 1700 the brothers Ignacio and Francisco Mujica donated their property at today's Avenida Colón and Rivera Indarte, and construction of the crypt began. General Miguel A. Tamburini ordered the work halted from Rome, and in 1724 the door leading down to the chapel was walled up. In 1928, while Avenida Colón was widened, the vaults appeared at pavement level; the roof was demolished and the crypt filled with rubble. It was archaeologically recovered from 1989.

The crypt is a municipal museum with guided tours and a hall for temporary cultural exhibitions. The site is called Cripta del Antiguo Noviciado, later Casa de Ejercicios de la Compañía de Jesús, recalling its Jesuit origin and its later use as a retreat house. Visitors descend among three naves of thick pillars and unworked brick and stone walls.

The site is easily reached on foot from downtown and can be entered from either side of Avenida Colón. Plan ahead or ask locals for directions since the entrances are not immediately obvious from street level.

The vaults came to light in 1928 during the widening of Avenida Colón under mayor Emilio F. Olmos; their roof was then demolished and the crypt filled with rubble. A section resurfaced by chance in 1989, prompting its archaeological and architectural recovery.
