Foundation of San Diego de Alcalá-Fundación de la Vega del Pozo, Architectural ensemble in Guadalajara, Spain.

The Foundation of San Diego de Alcalá comprises multiple buildings with classical designs, including a central asylum, pantheon, and church connected by gardens and courtyards.

Ricardo Velázquez Bosco designed this architectural complex in 1887 at the request of the Duchess of Sevillano to function as an asylum for the community.

The buildings showcase an eclectic architectural style, incorporating elements from medieval, Renaissance, and Mudéjar traditions in their construction and ornamentation.

The main building features a U-shaped facade with a central stone section spanning three floors, flanked by red brick pavilions on both sides.

The pantheon follows Romanesque-Lombard architecture with Gothic details, decorated with Carrara marble and Byzantine-style mosaics in its interior chambers.
