There was also an institutional institution, the "Colegio del Santísimo Nombre de Jesús", which formed many later University professors. As with other monastic orders, after the "Ley de Desamortización" of 1861, all religious property was confiscated and divided. After 1867, the National Library of Mexico was established in the grounds of the former convent and church. | |
