Detail InformationEdit

The San Pedro y San Pablo College complex has seen a lot of changes since it was built in late 16th and early 17th centuries, and today the church portion of the complex is home to the Museo de la Luz (Museum of Light) sponsored by the National Autonomous University of Mexico. While only the former church houses the museum, the old school complex stretches along San Ildefonso Street ending at Republica de Venezuela Street.
San Pedro y San Pablo was the second college founded by Jesuits, who were sent to the new colony in the 16th century in part to start schools. The group that founded this college was headed by Father Pedro Sanchez. and the official founding occurred in 1574 with the name of Colegio Máximo de San Pedro y San Pablo (Great College of Saints Peter and Paul). It was called “Máximo” because it was built to oversee the training of priests in Mexico City, Tepotzotlan, Puebla, Guadalajara, Zacatecas, Guatemala and Mérida. Construction of the facility began in 1576 funded by Don Alonso de Villaseca and others. The college church on the corner of El Carmen and San Ildefonso was built by Jesuit architect Diego Lopez de Arbaizo between 1576 and 1603. The church annex was completed in 1603 by Diego Lopez de Albaize, and the rest of the college complex was finished in 1645.
