Add PhotosThe Temple of San Agustín, situated in the historic center of Mexico City, is a significant Catholic edifice designated as a historical monument by the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History). Erected in 1541 by the Augustinian friars, it endured a fire in 1676 and underwent reconstruction in 1692. Apart from serving as a venue for religious ceremonies, it hosted a school where both Spaniards and indigenous individuals received education in literacy.
After the disentailment in 1861, it was divided into parcels and, in 1867, transformed into the headquarters of the National Library of Mexico until 1979. In 1957, the former sacristy and the small cloister were returned to the friars to establish a church, undergoing complete reconstruction and remaining accessible for worship up to the present day.
