Great Hospice, Protected heritage site in Alhambra Quarter, Brussels, Belgium.
The Great Hospice exhibits Neoclassical architecture with grand columns and symmetrical design, spanning across a substantial portion of its urban block.
Architect Henri Partoes constructed this building between 1824 and 1827 on the former location of the Grand Beguinage of Brussels.
The establishment carries the name of Spanish nobleman Augustin Pacheco, whose widow created a hospital for elderly care in 1713.
