The first printing press in the Americas
The viceroy Don Antonio de Mendoza established the first printing press of the Americas at location in 1536. The typographers were Esteban Martin and Juan Paoli. Centro historico, Mexico DF,Mexico.
If you get a chance to travel to Mexico City, you owe it to yourself to visit the “Centro Historico.” On Sundays, they close some of the streets and merchants and performers fill the street. The historic center of the city or the Zocalo, has been the cultural, spiritual and political center of the city for 500 years. Yes, 500 years. I can’t think of any other location on this continent that has seen as rich of a history. Unknown to some, is that inside this building, in 1536, the first printing press was established in the Americas. They even give credit to the first two typographers!
