Barrio Universitario

Learn about the history and present of the Barrio Universitario in Mexico City

This application is the perfect companion on your tour through the streets of the Historic Center of Mexico City to see the venues that were part of the University District from its origin, with the founding of the Royal University of Mexico in 1554, highlighting the anecdotes and dynamics that took place in schools, colleges, libraries, gyms and other educational spaces during the first half of the 20th century, until its migration to Ciudad Universitaria.

You will find a map of the University District in which the UNAM campuses stand out, modeled in three dimensions and accompanied by audiovisual materials, especially photographs from the UNAM Historical Archive, videos and audios, which offer you historical data on its origin, its role in the University District and its current work, dedicated to education and cultural diffusion, patrimonial treasures of the Nation that UNAM protects for the benefit of all Mexicans.

You can download it and enjoy it on the spot or from anywhere on the planet.

Barrio Universitario is an initiative of the University and Education Research Institute and the General Directorate of Computing and Information and Communication Technologies of the UNAM that arises from the interest we share in disseminating the history of our university and highlighting its presence in the heart of the city.
