The hospital was not always located in this part of town, however. Founded in 1313 by Bernat Jaume and his wife Garsendis, the hospital was situated on Calle de la Jonquera and provided healthcare for the most vulnerable groups in society, such as the poor and beggars.

In 1616 the hospital was moved to the outskirts of the town, outside the town walls, to what is now known as Calle Nou. After the Spanish Civil War, it made its final journey to the Parc del Bosc neighbourhood on the northern edge of the town.

And this is why the building stands right next to one of the largest natural areas in Figueres, known as the Parc del Bosc or ‘Forest Park’. Visitors and locals alike love this area for its wonderful vegetation. It’s a little oasis in the middle of a large, busy town where you can practice sports, read a book or indulge in any other form of relaxation. To get to the park from the hospital, simply cross the Ronda del Rector Arolas.

If you wish, you can park your vehicle at our Saba car park at 107 Avenida Salvador Dalí, just a few metres from the hospital.
