📖

Full description

Hospital de la Caridad is a working hospital dating to the 1600s, established by the aristocrat Miguel Mañara, and its baroque church is the main draw for visitors. The chapel holds a notable group of Murillo paintings, which reviewers value because they hang in situ rather than in a gallery, though a few are copies and the lighting is uneven.

The story of the institution's charitable mission adds context to the art. Entry is budget-friendly, and most visitors spend around 45 minutes, with some staying closer to an hour if they read the displays.
