Forty-two of the university’s 72-hectares are gardens, which, along with the birds that live in them, offer an environment of security and peace for the university community to study, enjoy together or just relax.

The university’s floral coat of arms.
At the campus’s main entrance is the UDLA coat of arms made entirely out of flowers and plants.

Talavera Walk.
At the southern entrance to the campus (José Gaos College) is a beautiful collection of Talavera ceramics surrounded by lemon cedars and bougainvilleas.

Figure Garden.
Renowned artist Heriberto Juãrez is the creator of the sculptures in this garden, located between the José Gaos College and the School of Business, a minimalist space that combines sculptures with succulents and agaves.

Heriberto Juãrez Garden
This space, dedicated to sculptor Heriberto Juárez, is located between the Schools of Business and Social Sciences. It has one of the largest collections of Juárez’s work, including important, world-renowned pieces. The sculptures are nestled among more than 150 varieties of plants from the different regions of Puebla.

Rose Garden.
The largest on campus, this garden boasts 7,800 rose bushes in addition to ferns, agaves, cacti and other flowers.

Hacienda
This building dates from the early twentieth century and was the main house of the former Hacienda Santa Catarina Mártir. Its interior includes a Seville-style patio with a central fountain and surrounding trees.

Garden of the Plaza of Flags.
This garden, located east of the library building, is the official site for the yearly graduation ceremony. To one side is a plaza where the flags of all the countries of the Americas fly in accordance with the university’s international vocation.

Lake.
The university community frequents the lake for recreation and relaxation. Inhabited by carp, ducks and migratory birds, it is flanked by a collection of Leonardo Nieman sculptures.

Bougainvillea Promenade.
Next to the Ray Lindley College, we can enjoy the intense purple of the bougainvilleas contrasting with the jacarandas’ lavender-colored flowers that bloom every year announcing the arrival of spring.
