ENG Manresa 2022 The project

Opportunity

“Manresa 2022” is a strategic, transversal and participatory project of the city with the aim of celebrating the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, a universal figure, in Manresa.

Ignatius lived for 11 months in our city, where he began to conceive the Spiritual Exercises, and had a revealing experience that marked his life and led him to found the Society of Jesus.

Manresa is considered the birthplace of the Jesuit order. Due to that, many of its centres around the world are named after the city.
