Estancia Jesuítica de Jesús María
Estancia de Jesús María – Museo Jesuítico Nacional
A UNESCO World Heritage Jesuit estancia famous for winemaking, now the National Jesuit Museum, with preserved ancient wine cellars and a church.
The Estancia de Jesús María was founded in 1618 and was known for producing wine supplied to the Spanish royal court. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. The residence, arranged around a courtyard with two levels of arcades, now houses the National Jesuit Museum, which displays religious art, indigenous archaeological artifacts, and everyday items from the estancia. Stone wine cellars, mill ruins, and a church have also been preserved. It is closed on Mondays and has inexpensive admission. Located about 50 km north of Córdoba, it can be combined with the Caroya estancia 4 km away and the more distant Santa Catalina estancia for a northern day trip.
