At the edge of Mexico City’s volcanic landscape of El Pedregal, Ciudad Universitaria at UNAM emerged in the 1950s as a pioneering experiment in modernist design. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, the campus fuses architecture, public art, and landscape into a unified vision of post-revolutionary Mexico. This tour highlights iconic sites such as the Central Library, Rectoría, and Olympic Stadium, where murals by Juan O’Gorman and David Alfaro Siqueiros integrate art and architecture into a living modernist city.
