The Church where Pope Francis served when young in Cordoba: Compañía de Jesús UNESCO World Heritage

Pope Francis, when he was still known as Jorge Bergoglio and was a priest in Argentina, was stationed in Córdoba, in a Jesuit Church called La Compañía de Jesús (Society of Jesus Church).

Jesuits arrived in Córdoba, Argentina in 1599 and then in 1606 they started building what would eventually become the Jesuit Square (Manzana Jesuita) downtown, and between 1606 and 1646 they built this beautifully constructed church, as well as the University of Cordoba (where now Law School is located) and the Colegio Monserrat, the oldest high school in the State.

In this Church, you can also visit the quarters where Pope Francis used to stay in while working.
An important visit when traveling to Cordoba, Argentina if you are interested in religious tourism.
