Photos – Jesuit Mission at San Ignacio Mini, Argentina
Looking Through Entranceways of Rooms in a Building From Outer to Inner Courtyard
A primary reason travelers pass through Posadas, Argentina on their way to Puerto Iguazú is to transfer to another bus and visit the Jesuit Ruins at San Ignacio Mini, just an hour and a half away.
The ruins at San Ignacio Mini are a part of the fifteen settlements founded by the priests of the ‘Society of Jesus’ i.e. Jesuits, in the tri-border area Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.
There is one small museum at the entrance of the site with artifacts of the mission on display such as sculptures, photos, etc. You can take a walk through the museum or view a video of the outer grounds by clicking here: Videos of Jesuit Mission Ruins at San Ignacio Mini, Argentina
