Vizcaínas is the oldest school in operation in Mexico and is a fundamental part of Mexican history. Its location in the center of the capital makes it a witness and actor in the most important events that have taken place from the Viceroyalty to the present day. In other words, the Colegio de San Ignacio de Loyola, Vizcaínas, has much to say about what has happened and continues to happen in its courtyards, hallways, and classrooms, but also in its surroundings.

This volume captures all these details, anecdotes, and stories, accompanied by photographs and illustrations by Estelí Meza. It is a delight for anyone who wants to learn the history of daily life in Mexico from either side of the windows of the beautiful building where the students of Vizcaínas continue to study, just as the first schoolgirls did 250 years ago.
