The current building dates from 1546 and is the work of Gaspar Gregori, who also built the gallery of arcades of the cathedral that overlooks the Plaza de la Virgen. The hospital was built in a fully Renaissance style.
In 1960 the new General Hospital was built on Avenida del Cid. Today, the Gaspar Gregori building is used as a public library.
