Local history and culture Granada

Built in the 16th century, Casa de Los Pisa was for a long time home to an important family from Granada who became famous for having welcomed San Juan de Dios during his illness, until his death in 1550. Acquired in the 19th century by the San Juan de Dios Hospital Order, it became the Order's museum and documentation centre, then abandoned and renovated in 1990 to house the San Juan de Dios Museum. A visit to this museum (twelve rooms, three galleries, a pretty patio and a chapel) will allow you to discover many paintings, beautiful pieces of silversmith's work or porcelain, furniture and also an important iconography concerning San Juan de Dios. With some curiosities such as the stick with which he walked the streets of Granada to ask for alms, or more recently, the model of the "Monument to San Juan de Dios", made by Miguel Moreno Morera and which can be seen in the gardens of the Triunfo or the parchment that King Felipe VI presented to the Order of San Juan de Dios, after receiving the Princess of Asturias of the Concord Prize, in 2015. In addition, the museum's archives contain important documentation on hospital management, one of the most comprehensive in Andalusia in this field.
