Hospital and church of Saint Andrew

Complex of hospital and church located to the northeast of the old town, in a residential area where the streets still retain their medieval irregularity. The main facade faces the small Plaça de l'Hospital.

Typology/Elements

The hospital is a complex of Renaissance buildings with various extensions over the years (16th-20th centuries).

The oldest part, adjoining the church, corresponds to the current convent residence. On the ground floor there remains an original Gothic arch and another reconstructed one. At the beginning of the 20th century, an additional floor was added following the same facade composition, in historicist style: openings with hood moulds and a cornice with imbrications. Also from this period dates the expansion of the hospital with other building bodies in a modernist-historicist style.

The church is in a very simple classical Baroque style. It consists of a nave, with a barrel vault and transverse arches on pilasters, the result of an extension in length and height. The main facade has a classical portal formed by columns and a curved pediment, with a rose window above it. Two symmetrical square towers at the top flank it.
