We are standing before one of the most significant buildings in the World Heritage city of Úbeda.
This building was designed by the architect Andrés de Vandelvira (who also designed Jaén Cathedral), who began construction in 1562, which was completed in 1575.
The building was ordered by D. Diego de los Cobos, Bishop of Jaén, as a hospital for the poor and sick. In 1917, it was declared a National Historic Architectural Monument. It is currently a cultural center that hosts, in addition to exhibitions, the Úbeda Music Festival.

This colossal building called Hospital de Santiago was built by Andrés de Vandelvira (the same architect who designed the Cathedral of Jaén), between 1562 and 1567 and included a hospital for poor patients, a church, a pantheon and a palace. Today it is perfectly preserved and is used for various functions, such as the headquarters of the "Úbeda Music Festival" which is held every year between the months of May and the first day of July. It also serves as a place for temporary exhibitions and other cultural activities.
