“A chapel within a chapel?” someone whispered, their voice echoing softly under the arches of the Jesuit block. You might be surprised to learn that the Capilla Católica is exactly that. Nestled within the grand Manzana Jesuítica, the Capilla Doméstica is a hidden gem. This small chapel was a place of private reflection for the Jesuit priests who dedicated their lives to education and faith. Although the Capilla Católica is now closed to the public, its history is no less fascinating. Take a moment to admire its impressive cedar door. It was brought all the way from the Jesuit missions in Misiones, a testament to the reach and influence of this religious order. The Capilla Católica, along with the entire Manzana Jesuítica, stands as a testament to the Jesuits’ indelible mark on Córdoba.
