Old Sant Joan de Déu Asylum

Designed by the architect Francisco Mora Berenguer in 1907, the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital-Asylum responds to a new hygienist conception that is reflected in the open layout of the building with large galleries and terraces to take advantage of the benefits of the sun and the sea breeze.

It was originally built for the religious of the Order, traditionally dedicated to the care of the poor and sick, but specialized in the care of scrofulous and disabled children, and is today a modern hospital. The general floor plan of the building adopts a symmetrical arrangement based on a central body of greater height and two lateral wings that arise perpendicular from its ends. The construction makes abundant use of the tile used with austerity criteria that only vary in the upper part of the central body where it formalizes a neomudy cut finish. It is currently the Hospital de la Malvarrosa
