About the Venue: The History of Seminario 12
Nestled amidst the vibrant tapestry of Mexico City's historic center, Seminario 12 proudly stands as the oldest continuously inhabited house in the city. Its exact date of construction remains shrouded in mystery, but its origins trace back to the early 1600s, shortly after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. Legend has it that Seminario 12 was built atop the ruins of an ancient Aztec temple dedicated to Tezcatlipoca, the enigmatic deity associated with darkness, magic, and transformation.
Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, Seminario 12 served as a grand residence for prominent families, its walls echoing with the footsteps of Mexico's elite. Historical records suggest that Hernán Cortés lived in the building with his family.
Eventually Seminario 12 became a seminary, and then a variety of businesses operated out of the building for decades. In the 1960s, the renowned radical Navarro Bookstore attracted the intellectuals of the day. However, as the decades progressed, Seminario 12 fell into disrepair.
In 1988, Mónica Baptista, an art restorer, lead an ambitous restoration project. She meticulously restored the building’s orginal features and floorplan. Their efforts breathed new life into Seminario 12, transforming it into a modern community space that gracefully blends the charm of the past.
