The Hospicio Cabañas building extends over 20,000 square meters with multiple galleries, exhibition spaces, and a central courtyard surrounded by arches.

Founded in 1810 by Bishop Juan Ruiz de Cabañas, this complex initially operated as a hospital and orphanage until its transformation into a cultural center in 1980.
