Visit the wonders of Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara, Jalisco, named a World Heritage Site and one of the largest and oldest hospital buildings in America.
Founded by the Bishop of Guadalajara around 1791, and created with the purpose of serving as a work house, hospital, orphanage and charity house, this building owes its name to Juan Ruiz de Cabañas.
Manuel Tolsá, a renowned architect from Mexico City, was commissioned to design the structure. Its design was based on Parisian and Madrid works considered now classic, such as Les Invalides and El Escorial.
The single-storey building has a rectangular structure whose chapel has a dome that rises to 32.5 meters. The complex stands on one level to help the mobility of the sick, the elderly and children.
Construction did not end until 1829, and during this time, the building served as a barracks, and then returned to its original purpose of being a hospital until 1980, when the affiliated schools of arts and crafts decided to move and be members of the Cabañas Cultural Institute.
Inside the building you will find several monumental frescoes made by José Clemente Orozco, including one of his most famous creations, "Allegory of the Man in Flames". Due to its cultural importance, Hospicio Cabañas was named a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1997. Departure Point :
