old hospital
There are references to this building from the beginning of the 17th century when it served more as a charitable institution than as a health facility.
The word hospital comes from the Latin "hospitalem"
What does hostel mean?
It was therefore a place to welcome not only the sick but people without resources, orphaned children and even pilgrims.
This hospital operated as such thanks to the inheritance of a notable neighbor from Oropesa, and other charitable aid, until in the 19th century it changed its function to house the Villa prison.
