Hospital of Jesus Nazareno (Parador)

Plaza de la Constitución, 7

The Foundation of the Hospital Order Jesús Nazareno is a building which has been continually reformed since the beginning of its construction in 1725.

It has been a convent, a hospital for the poor, a field hospital, a prison and a museum. Indeed a museum because its garden hosted the first public exhibition of Roman antiquities in the 18th century as the result of the erudite concerns of the famous doctor and local erudite, Forner y Segarra and Brother Domingo de Nuestra Señora.

Today this building is one of the most luxurious and ancient paradors because it was inaugurated by no one less than King Alfonso 8th. It is worth going in and having a look at the small cloister inside. Its columns, which come from Roman or Visigothic buildings, show Kufic Arabian inscriptions on their shafts with pleas to Allah.
