Casa de la Misericòrdia, Renaissance architectural ensemble in El Raval, Spain.
The Casa de la Misericòrdia features two distinct architectural styles, combining Renaissance elements with historicist design across its extensive stone facade and interior courtyards.
Established in 1581 by Diego Pérez de Valdivia with support from the Consell de Cent, this institution provided shelter for young women in need starting from 1684.
The building contains an orange tree courtyard with 35 trees, representing a traditional Mediterranean garden space that connects architecture with nature.
Located near La Rambla at coordinates 41.3835N and 2.16869E, the building maintains its educational function through the Labouré School, which hosts 345 students.
The facade preserves a foundling wheel, a historical device used until 1931 that allowed anonymous placement of unwanted babies into the care of the institution.
