It uses unpublished documentary evidence from the archives of the Vatican City, of Rome, of Madrid and of the own institution, in order to revise and increase <span style="background: white;">the previous knowledge, focused exclusively on the hospital of San Nicolás and on the hospital promoted by Tomás Borja and Gabriel Robuster. It </span>reveals the existance of other two, located near Corte Savella, in the space nowadays occupied by the Spanish National Church of Santiago and Montserrat. Finally it analyses in what way this hospitality awaked the interest of the King Ferdinand the Catholic, and contributed to consolidate his image in the city; and the importance that these hospitals had for the brotherhood of Our Lady of Montserrat, particularly how the generous donation of money and objects helped to construct and equip them.</span></p> ER -
