Abstract

This article deals with the first building that hosted the Royal University of Mexico. We performed a short review about this matter. Although some historians had ventured its location to be on the corner of the streets Seminario and Moneda, others were reasonably cautious. The Diálogos by Cervantes de Salazar did not suffice to confirm the location of that first site of the university categorically. As of 2004 we count on the Uppsala map that contains a detailed description of Mexico City circa 1550. Based on both sources we can affirm that the first location of the university was located on the corner of Seminario and Moneda.
