Summary

At least three quarters of the Basilica of San Martín de Loinaz in Beasain belongs to the patrimony of the Statutory Diputation, (the other quarter is property of the town council of Beasain). It was built in 1847, following architect Mariano José de Lascurain´s design and under his supervision. He was then the "Director of Roads" of the Province of Guipuzcoa. The Basilica is a small monument that fits in perfectly within the Neo-classical period because of its author, its design and the dates in which it was built. It is a small Greek cross-based within a 14 m. square area.
