Decorated university building in Mexico City
A building sports a first floor of glass windows and a second story with a highly stylized painting of people. A few pedestrians walk on the grass in front of the building. The National Autonomous University of Mexico was founded in 1551, making it the second oldest university in the Western hemisphere, after Peru's National University of San Marcos. It is the largest university in Latin American and is considered one of the world's elite universities.
