Hospital de los Reyes Católicos, Historic hospital in Santiago de Compostela, Spain
The Hospital de los Reyes Católicos exhibits Plateresque architecture with four courtyards, Gothic elements, and Renaissance details across its rectangular layout.
Construction of this pilgrims' hospital began in 1492 under architect Enrique Egas, with funding from the Catholic Monarchs through the Voto de Santiago revenues.
The main portal displays stone sculptures of biblical figures, including Adam and Eve, along with medallions featuring King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
The building functions as a five-star Parador hotel, offering accommodations while maintaining public access to its indoor patios and chapel during specific hours.
A 16th-century chain supported by carved pillars stands in front of the building, marking historical property boundaries between hospital and city authorities.
