Remodelaciones en el Hospital de Barrantes (1767-1800). Cabildo, cirujanos, pobres, soldados, quadras y camas

Abstract

St Julian and St Quirce Hospital or Barrantes Hospital was rebuilt in 1747-1750 on the base of the former building of the 17th Century. Even at that moment, some problems about structure and space were set out, problems which, later on, would make indispensable new architectonic works and measures to house, in a sensible and sustainable way, the sick population, either civil or military. The arrival of many and big army groups, made worse, especially in the last years of the Century, the internal situation, that was already tense, as well as the financial and accountant problems.
