1. Former hospital of San José de Gracia Marker
Antiguo hospital de San José de Gracia
Fue fundado en 1586 con el apoyo de Diego de Tapia y otros caciques de la región. Se trata de un edificio sobrio en su construcción, como todos los conjuntos religiosos que funcionaron como centros de salud. En 1622, por disposición del rey de España, quedó a cargo de la Orden de la Caridad de San Hipólito para atender a los indígenas y españoles con ayuda de médicos, boticarios, cirujanos y enfermeros.
El templo de San José de Gracia quedó terminado en 1726. Tras las leyes de Reforma, en 1863 el hospital fue trasladado al antiguo Real Colegio de Santa Rosa de Viterbo.

In 1622, the site was given to the Order of Charity of San Hipólito, where natives and Spanish were treated by doctors, apothecaries, nurses, and surgeons.
