Palafoxian Library in the beautiful city of Puebla

Bishop Palafox y Mendoza dedicated his collection of 5,000 volumes to the seminarians of the Tridentine institutions on September 5, 1646, making it the first public library on the American continent. Since then, it's been in Puebla's Colegio de San Juan.
