Antigo Hospital de Pobres e Peregrinos
O antigo hospital é unha obra impulsada polo bispo Juan Manuel Rodríguez Castañón en 1757 sobre o mesmo terreo do hospital medieval. Á parte do seu labor asistencial, o edificio tamén albergará as oficinas para os notarios e o cárcere eclesiástico na planta baixa. Nas dúas plantas superiores e arredor do patio barroco situábanse as diferentes pezas para os enfermos e enfermas, a capela, os cuartos do administrador e do cirurxián e mais a cociña.

The hospital built in 1757 was one of the works built on the orders of Bishop Juan Manuel Rodríguez Castañón and was erected on the same site as the medieval hospital. As well as the building providing a place of care and assistance, it also housed Notary Offices and the church prison on the lower floor. On the two upper floors and arranged around a baroque style patio, there were separate areas for treating male and female patients; a chapel; the administrator's rooms; the doctor's surgery, as well as the kitchen.
