The jewel of Renaissance civil architecture!
The University of Oñati (1548) is the first in the Basque Country and is considered the best example of Basque Renaissance civil art. The University of Sancti Spiritus, a center of culture since the 16th century, is a serene Renaissance building around a cloister. Considered one of the jewels of the Basque Renaissance, project of Bishop Rodrigo Mercado de Zuazola, its facade is elegant and majestic and inside it is worth noting the cloister, the ceilings decorated with Mudejar coffered ceilings and the Plateresque altarpiece in the chapel sculpted by the French sculptor Pierres Picart.
