Several people walk on the grass in front of a heavily decorated building. The building is decorated with designs inspired from pre-Columbian motifs.
The National Autonomous University of Mexico was founded in 1551, making it the second oldest university in the Western hemisphere, after Peru’s National University of San Marcos. It is the largest university in Latin American and is considered one of the world’s elite universities.
This building is the University’s main library.
