| dc.description | Located in the town of Tepotzotlán on the outskirts of Mexico City is the architectural complex of Saint Francis Javier (Xavier) Seminary. The Jesuits were given the mission to convert the indigenous children. After the Jesuit expulsion in 1767, the complex was vacant for years until it became a training seminary for secular clergy. The Jesuits reoccupied the complex until the revolution in 1914. In 1933, this site was declared a national monument and restoration began in the 1960's. It is now a national museum. The three parts of the complex are the remains of the cloister, the secondary church (Domestic Chapel) and the church of San Francisco Javier.; Located in the town of Tepotzotlán on the outskirts of Mexico City is the architectural complex of Saint Francis Javier (Xavier) Seminary.
