Casa Cuna de Fraisoro, Foundling hospital in Zizurkil, Spain
The Casa Cuna de Fraisoro building, designed by architect Ramón Cortázar, served as both an orphanage and maternity center for abandoned children and single mothers.
From 1903 to 1994, approximately 12,000 children and 3,500 women received care at this institution, established by the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa.
The facility employed 11 Daughters of Charity sisters and up to 30 internal wet nurses, reflecting the social welfare practices of twentieth-century Spain.
The institution admitted single, first-time pregnant women in their seventh month and provided care for children until they reached five years of age.
In 1906, Casa Cuna de Fraisoro became the first institution in Spain to implement the Wassermann test for syphilis detection in newborns.
