2. Federico Santa María Technical University, Chile

4. Guanajuato University, Mexico

Guanajuato is a riot of opulent colonial buildings, breathtaking tree-filled plazas and brightly coloured houses, all jam-packed on to 바카라사이트 steep slopes of a ravine. The Neoclassical white and blue main university campus building (pictured below) caused controversy when it was built in 바카라사이트 1940s because it was such a contrast to 바카라사이트 rainbow colour palette of 바카라사이트 city. It also obscured 바카라사이트 Templo de los Hospitales, a temple built in 바카라사이트 16th century for 바카라사이트 worship of Guanajuato’s indigenous population. Aside from this, 바카라사이트 university’s buildings are dotted throughout 바카라사이트 small city, so 바카라사이트ir beauty is both a complement and a contrast.

5. University of Guadalajara, Mexico
