Image: Now we enter what was once the Gran Claustro (Great Cloister) at the heart of the convent. Now is is the heart of the university's classroom space. At the right is a pretty groomed garden. Originally, the garden would have covered this entire patio. It was used by the nuns for peaceful and quiet sitting, resting, walking, and meditation.
Questions: Can you imagine what this space looked and felt like when Sor Juana lived here? Can you imagine what it feels like now when filled with students?
