    Architectural complex from the 18th century declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2006. The hospital now houses a nursing home. The hospital was founded at the express wish of Saint John of God (also known as John of the Sick, a Portuguese saint, nurse, and the founder of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God) for the care of the poor affected by contagious diseases.

      The foundation and construction of the primitive convent and hospital of Lucena took place in 1565 at the express wish of San Juan de Dios, for the care of the poor affected by contagious diseases and to provide them with burial.
      In the first half of the eighteenth century the deterioration of the property forced its demolition and the construction of the current building was carried out, an outstanding example of the architecture of the Hospitaller Order and the Baroque Lucentino. The monumental cover of the church, conceived as an altarpiece and executed in polychrome marbles and the sober facade of the old hospital make up one of the fronts of the Plaza de la Calzada. The hospital currently constitutes a nursing home. es.wikipedia.org/wiki Old_Hospital_de_San_Juan_de_Dios_(Lucena)
