Central University City Campus of the UNAM by Kyle Magnuson

I fell in love with this campus the more time I spent within its boundaries. Firstly, there are several dominant murals, but there are also several "hidden" ones that I stumbled across while exploring. The Modernist buildings really compliment each other, and though often of eclectic designs, really are stunning taken as a whole. UNAM is an institution rich in History, with multiple Presidents of Mexico and Latin America being alumni, as well as writers, artists, and filmmakers such as Alfonso Cuarón. I could imagine walking the grounds and attending classes in these illustrious steel and glass buildings. One of the most stunning works on campus is the 'The Conquer of Energy' mural by José Chávez Morado (1952 - pictured top left).

During my visit on a Sunday afternoon, there were several students playing Quidditch. (Yes, that Quidditch!) The sky was blue, the weather was very pleasant, and I had all these structures and murals largely to myself.
