This hospital is the first in Spain to apply the model that emerged in northern Italy, with a central space from where all the wards were controlled and two infirmaries where patients could be separated by sex and ailments. Of the two infirmaries, only the one that has been transformed into a public library remains standing today. The other was demolished in 1974 and loose pieces remain in the gardens (columns, capitals, etc.).
In this square was the palace of Mosén Sorell. This palace was named after Bernat Martí Sorell Aguiló, who died at the beginning of the 16th century. The palace was built in the mid-15th century and was one of the most important medieval palaces in Valencia. It was demolished in 1882, after a fire suffered in 1878. Some pieces were scattered, such as the access door to the palace, which is in a gallery in Reggio Emilia (Italy), and a chapel, which is in the Louvre Museum from Paris.
