Hospital Real

Hospital Real

The civil building houses the Velezano Miguel Guirao Regional Museum and the Vélez Rubio Municipal Tourism Office. The building was built in 1765 and from the early years of the nineteenth century it was the subject of a hectic and eventful life, as it served successively as a center of occupation for French troops and a hospital for the poor in 1822. Ceded to the local militia, it was managed as a maternity home, barracks, school, theater and academy. In 1887 it served as an asylum until the 60s of the twentieth century. After different architectural interventions, it was subsequently restored between 1988 and 1991 by a Workshop School to make it the headquarters of the current Miguel Guirao Regional Museum. Located on Carrera del Carmen.
