[1] After the Spanish confiscation of Mendizábal in 1849, the hospital (located in the block of Real Street and Curros Enríquez Square) became the property of the municipality of Pontevedra.

Due to the deterioration of the building and in order to raise funds to complete the construction of a new hospital, the town council decided to demolish it and build the new hospital on a plot of land on the Orense road (now Doctor Loureiro Crespo Street).

In 1996, the hospital was transferred to the Galician Healthcare Service (SERGAS) and its management was taken over by the Xunta de Galicia.

The walls are plastered white with lime mortar, leaving only the granite visible in the window and door frames.

[5] The main entrance has a central projecting body on which a tower (added to the original building) with a spire-shaped roof stands out, on the four walls of which there are four clocks.
