Public Library of Valencia, Public library in Ciutat Vella, Valencia, Spain.
The Public Library of Valencia occupies the main building of the former Hospital of Poor Innocents, featuring a Greek cross layout with different sections in each wing.
Founded in 1838 as Valencia Popular Library in Casa Vestuario at Plaza de la Virgen, the institution relocated to its current location in 1979.
The library divides its services across wings, with humanities and sciences sections on the upper floor and children's materials in the left wing.
Located at 13 Hospital Street with entrance through Guillem de Castro garden, the library provides home lending services and bibliographic information.
The building previously served as Europe's first mental hospital, established in 1409 by Valencia's bourgeoisie following Friar Juan Gilabert Jofré's sermon.
