In the heart of Mexico City rises the majestic Seminario 12, an architectural jewel that not only stands as a living witness to the birth and evolution of Mexico but also offers the unique opportunity to inhabit a space steeped in history, tradition, and charm—or to launch a successful, multi-faceted business.<br />
<br />
Located on the emblematic Plaza de la Constitución, this historic mansion sits atop the legacy of the Temple of Tezcatlipoca, just steps from the awe-inspiring Templo Mayor and flanked by the imposing Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace. Since the 17th century, its strategic location has made it a focal point of life in New Spain and a witness to the most sumptuous constructions of the era.<br />
<br />
Built in the early 17th century for residential purposes, Seminario 12 has served as a home, seminary, school, communal housing, and commercial center throughout the centuries. Its architecture, representative of the Novohispanic style, has been meticulously restored, preserving 95% of its original essence. Recently renovated in 2019, the property has been updated with the finest materials and design, respecting INAH guidelines and blending history with modern comforts.<br />
<br />
Stepping through its imposing copper doors from the cobblestone street, one experiences a unique sensation of traveling back in time to the viceregal era, far from the bustle of the Zócalo. Today, Seminario 12 offers versatile land-use options that invite exploration of new possibilities—whether as a family residence, headquarters for a foundation, lodging for travelers, or a space for renowned national and international chefs, to name just a few.<br />
<br />
Among its most remarkable features, Seminario 12 offers two true treasures: an unparalleled view from its rooftop garden, where the majesty of the Cathedral and the waving national flag over the Zócalo take center stage, and a window on the first floor that frames the Cathedral itself, inviting reflection on the history and energy of this one-of-a-kind place.<br />
<br />
To immerse yourself in Seminario 12 is a privilege that can be yours—a chance to connect with Mexico’s glorious past in a space that fuses historical elegance with contemporary comforts, as well as a range of commercial possibilities to develop. |
