Description

Founded in 1676, the University of San Carlos Borromeo in Antigua Guatemala was one of the oldest universities in the Americas. Housed in a Baroque colonial building, it trained clergy, lawyers, and doctors in theology, law, and medicine. Notable alumni include poet Rafael Landívar and physician José Felipe Flores. The university moved to Guatemala City after the 1773 earthquakes. Today, its original site is a museum that preserves the legacy of academic and religious life in colonial Guatemala.
