Hospital de San Lazaro, Havana, Colonial healthcare institution in Havana, Cuba.
The San Lazaro Hospital consisted of a central church structure surrounded by medical facilities, courtyards, and patient care areas spanning multiple buildings.
Established in 1781 by royal decree of Felipe V, the hospital served as the primary treatment center for leprosy patients in Havana until 1916.
The hospital grounds became a focal point for religious gatherings and medical practices, combining Spanish colonial healthcare with local Cuban traditions.
Located in the current Cayo Hueso neighborhood, the former hospital site stood approximately one mile outside the original city walls of colonial Havana.
The hospital design incorporated a tripartite portico and strategic architectural elements to separate religious activities from medical treatment areas.
