Hôpital Santa Maria della Scala, Medieval hospital complex in Siena, Italy.
The Santa Maria della Scala stretches across five levels opposite the Siena Cathedral, featuring multiple exhibition spaces and preserved medieval structures.
Founded in the 11th century as a xenodochium, this institution grew to become a major economic force in medieval Siena through donations and banking activities.
The hospital complex contains numerous frescoes from the 1330s and houses the original sculptures from the Fonte Gaia by Jacopo della Quercia.
The museum opens daily from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM between April and November, with admission costing ten euros for adults and free entry for children under eleven.
The underground levels of the complex reveal archaeological findings and storage areas that document centuries of medical and social care in Siena.
