Cuidad Universitaria

2013 Since its founding in the mid-60s, the University City of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima has been a protagonist, witness, and even reflection of Peru’s economic, political, and social situation. We could summarize very concisely that in the 70s, it was a victim of the state’s indifference in the economic aspect; in the 80s, it was one of the main battlefields in Lima of the social ideologies of the Internal Armed Conflict. At the beginning of the 90s, it began reorganizing and improving its image as an academic institution. Cuidad Universitaria (Spanish for University City) project registers its exterior architectural structures as witnesses of its history.
