Hospital of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

Monument · Torralba de Oropesa, La Campana de Oropesa, Toledo

The hospital of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is a late Gothic assistance building dating from 1508, declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) and considered the most valuable monument in Torralba de Oropesa (Toledo). According to Madoz's dictionary, the original hospital was founded by don Pedro de Oropesa, a native of the town, and served as a hospital for poor travellers and religious of observance. The building is arranged in several blocks around a square courtyard, and its main façade is built in Toledan brick-and-stone masonry with an ashlar plinth. Today it houses the town hall of the municipality.
