Hospital General de la Misericordia

The old Hospital General de la Misericordia (General Hospital of Mercy) in Pamplona was founded in 1556 by Remigio Goñi and was operating - under different names and functions - until 1939¹. It was named after the image of Our Lady of Mercy kept in the hospital's chapel and could acommodate 600 beds². The building now hosts the Museo de Navarra and is located on the edge of the old part of Pamplona, next to the city walls (Salida Santo Domingo, 47).
