old “Hospital Militar de Las Palmas”

This beautiful colonial building in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, now the seat of the Rectorate of the local University, was used as a military hospital (Hospital Militar) for almost fifty years, from 1937 to 1984¹ On the back of the main building, with its beautiful dome, there is another building, red-painted, which was for some time the home of the nuns-nurses of the military hospital.
