Santa Isabel Psychiatric Hospital

Curiosity · Leganés, Área Metropolitana, Madrid

Image of Leganés, not of the place itself.

Opened in 1851 and considered the first asylum properly so called in Spain, it occupies an extensive building of Neo-Mudéjar air whose popular name, the Leganés madhouse, ended up entering Spanish colloquial speech.
