Palace of Autonomy: UNAM

On the ruins of a convent of the Discalced Carmelite nuns, founded in the 16th century, several housing units were built by 1859. In 1890, the Escuela Normal de Maestros, designed by architect Manuel F. Álvarez, was built on the site. The building was later modified by Leopoldo Batres, and housed several offices and university departments. Renamed the Palace of Autonomy, it was the scene in 1929 of severe police repression against a university strike. This resulted in autonomy for the National University of Mexico by a decree from President Emilio Portes Gil.
