Hospital de Santa María Magdalena
Hospital de Santa María Magdalena, Former hospital and monument in Almería, Spain
The Hospital de Santa María Magdalena consists of three connected buildings arranged around a central courtyard with Renaissance and Mudéjar architectural elements.
Bishop Diego Fernández de Villalán funded the construction of this medical facility in 1547, which served the population of Almería until its transformation into a museum.
The building houses Spain's longest preserved wooden ceiling in a civil structure, spanning 37 meters with intricate Mudéjar craftsmanship and geometric star patterns.
The museum opened its doors in December 2022 after a 10-million-euro restoration project that preserved the original layout and architectural features.
Doctor Francisco Romero performed the first documented successful heart surgery in medical history at this hospital in 1801.
