The Patio Barroco (Baroque Courtyard), Saint Ignacio School’s former cloister, is now part of the Faculty of Philosophy from Querétaro’s Autonomous University (UAQ).

Due to its placid pink quarry, its very delicate arcade and its perfect symmetry, this is one of the most beautiful and harmonious courtyards in the city.
