Historical Locations: Study Abroad Mexico
Santiago de Queretaro, Queretaro, Guanajuato City, Guanajuato, and Mexico City were locations filled with rich Mexican history and heritage. From historic buildings turned into world class museums to ancient structures built in the pre-Hispanic years, our study abroad journey was filled with visits to many locations which provided enriching knowledge on the many layers of Mexican culture and patrimony. Queretaro fascinated us with its famous colonial aqueduct and it’s Theater of the Republic, the location of the signing of the Mexican Constitution of 1917. Guanajuato impressed us with its colonial era fervor, the historic Alhondiga de Granditas, the neoclassical Juarez Theater, and the colossal statue of El Pipila overlooking the city. Mexico City graced us with pre-Hispanic architecture and ruins both in and outside of the city, with a Royal Castle nestled in the vast metropolis, and with incredible monuments and theaters that celebrate distinct eras of Mexican history. All of these historic locations added an invaluable opportunity to experience and immerse ourselves in locations we learned about in our studies and influential to the history of the incredible country we resided in.
