Hospital of Simón Ruiz, 16th century hospital in Medina del Campo, Spain
The Hospital of Simón Ruiz features a porticoed square cloister with thick pillars and semi-circular arches topped by ribbed vaults.
Construction of the hospital began in 1593 and concluded in 1619, consolidating several smaller medical facilities under one main institution.
The chapel displays intricate religious artwork, including alabaster statues of Simón Ruiz and his wives, along with baroque altarpieces from different periods.
The building incorporated separate cells for patients, corridors leading to a garden, and specific areas designated for medical treatment and recovery.
The hospital pharmacy preserved 103 ceramic jars with blue cobalt designs, now exhibited at the Museum of the Fairs.
