El Hospitalito, Colonial medical building in central Puebla, Mexico

The stone structure displays a Baroque facade with the coat of arms of Pope Innocent XIII and statues of Saints Peter and Paul.

Founded between 1534 and 1537 as Hospital de San Juan de Letran, the building received donations from Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza and Emperor Carlos V.

The building transformed from a women's hospital to a girls' school named Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion under Bishop Juan de Palafox y Mendoza in 1642.

The building stands at the intersection of 9 Oriente Avenue and 2 Sur Street, near multiple public transportation stops in Puebla's center.

The structure maintains its original temple, which underwent reconstruction from 1707 to 1721 following damage from an earthquake in 1711.
