Hospital de San Sebastián, Renaissance hospital building near Mosque-Cathedral, Córdoba, Spain.
The Hospital de San Sebastián features a rectangular stone structure with a central courtyard, displaying elevated round arches and Gothic ribbed ceilings.
Architect Hernán Ruiz designed this medical facility between 1512 and 1516, transforming a former ablutions area from the Islamic period into a hospital.
The structure includes a church with platforms where patients attended religious ceremonies, combining medical care with spiritual practices of 16th century Spain.
The building now functions as the Palace of Congress and Exhibitions, with its church section serving as a Tourist Information Office open to visitors.
From 1816 to 1961, the hospital transformed into a shelter for abandoned children, known as Casa de los Expósitos, addressing social needs of Córdoba.
