Museo de Sitio del Claustro de Sor Juana
Izazaga, 92, Colonia Centro, Mexico City, MexicoTel: +52 5 7094066 Ext. 116
As indicated by its name, this convent belonged to the Order of Jerome, where the eminent Baroque poetess Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz lived and died. Often referred to as the Tenth Muse, her literary works made a huge impact on the Hispanic world. Although the convent later went through many changes, its original construction (between 1585 and 1623) place the structure and its accompanying church firmly in the Baroque period of architectural design. After an ignominious period as a military barracks, restoration was commenced in 1976, and the installations now house the Universidad del Claustro Sor Juana. The original structure of cloisters is still discernible amidst the modern classrooms. The remains of some of the original cells can also be seen, along with crosses and fountains. There is an outdoor canteen that offers a good place to rest and have a drink.
