history
The traditional academy, from which many well-known artists emerged, was renamed the Real Academia de San Carlos de las Nobles Artes ( German : “Royal Academy of San Carlos of the Noble Arts” ) for architecture, painting and sculptors by decree of December 25, 1783 in the historic center of Mexico City on calle del Amor de Dios . Since its inception, the academy has been renamed several times, in 1821 as Academia Nacional de San Carlos de México , in 1863 as Academia Imperial de San Carlos de México and in 1867 as Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (ENBA). Santiago Rebull Gordillo directed the school from 1861 until his death , then Antonio Rivas Mercado until 1912 .
In 1929 it was divided into the School of Fine Arts Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas and the School of Architecture Escuela Nacional de Arquitectura , which in turn was relocated to the university town of UNAM in 1933 and became the Faculty of Architecture.
