Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso

A former Jesuit college in the historic centre, rebuilt in the early 18th century around three courtyards and later the National Preparatory School. Its walls carry the first murals of the Mexican muralist movement, by José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and others; it is now a museum with exhibitions.
