Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso
1 hour 30 minutes
Considered one of the most important cultural spaces in national life, the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso is one of the most important colonial buildings in the historic center of Mexico City. This building is also known for its relevance within mural painting, since it is considered that the Mexican muralism movement began on its walls. Paintings by Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco, among others, are reflected in it. For more than six decades it continued to be the cradle of several generations of intellectuals and prominent personalities.
