Templo del Ex-Hospital de San Roque, Roman Catholic church in Centro Historico, Puebla, Mexico

The Templo del Ex-Hospital de San Roque is a single-nave church in Puebla's historic centre, roofed by one barrel vault crossed by a transept whose windows light the interior. It dates from 1672 and is also known as the Iglesia del Justo Juez. A Talavera tile plaque on the exterior refers to Bernardino Álvarez, founder of the Hospitaller order that ran the adjoining hospital.

The church was founded in 1672 as part of a hospital complex built by the Order of Charity of Saint Hippolyte. This facility was established to serve Spanish travelers arriving in New Spain.

The Talavera plaque on the exterior honours Bernardino Álvarez, a former soldier who fought the Chichimecas in Zacatecas and made his fortune in Peru before founding the Hospitaller Order of Saint Hippolytus. On 22 November 1624, friar Cristóbal de Anaya proposed in Puebla's council that San Roque be named patron of the city against plague and contagious disease.

The church stands in Puebla's historic centre, a short walk from the Zócalo and the cathedral. It was closed for 11 months after the 2017 Puebla earthquake and reopened on 16 August 2018, so check current opening before planning a visit. The single nave and transept are compact and quick to see.

The talavera plaque on the exterior honours Bernardino Álvarez, a former soldier who fought the Chichimeca in Zacatecas and made his fortune in Peru before founding the Hospitaller order. The hospital he inspired took in convalescents arriving on Spanish ships at San Juan de Ulúa, sent by mule teams from Puebla.
