Este hospital fué fundado el año 1505 por el ilustre caballero adjunto á los reyes católicos, Diego Garcia de Hinestrosa el que para su sostenimiento, legó todos los bienes que poseia. Los terremotos acaecidos el 25 de diciembre de 1884, lo resintieron de tal modo que fué preciso su total demolicion. La junta de patronos que lo administra, acordó su reconstruccion, encargando al arquitecto provincial Dn. Juan N. de Avila y Bermudez de Castro, la direccion y planos, que fueron aprobados por real orden de 21 de noviembre de 1887 empezaron las obras en 1888, y terminaron en 1891.
