Antiguo Hospital de Sineu

Museums | Sineu

The Hospital of Sineu was possibly founded around the year 1240 by royal concession of Jaime I. In 1918 the first stone of the asylum that has housed until today was laid. Currently, the construction of a day care center is being planned. Within the Hospital grounds is the Oratory of St. Joseph, which was originally dedicated to St. George, until 1630 when it was dedicated to St. Joseph. Inside are numerous pieces of great value, among which are a Renaissance painting on panel, representing the Mother of God of the Rosebush and Blood, (work of Gaspar Gener), two holy water fonts, one with pedestal and the other attached to the wall; a wooden sculptural group of the seventeenth century that comes out in the processions of Holy Thursday and Good Friday and another sculptural group of wood and carving of the sixteenth century that also parades at Easter.
