Pontevedra Provincial Hospital
The Pontevedra Provincial Hospital is a building dating from 1897, located in the city centre of Pontevedra, Spain. History The origins of the Provincial Hospital go back to the hospital in Pontevedra founded in 1439 by testamentary disposition of Teresa Pérez Fiota, called ''Hospital del Cuerpo de Dios'' (Hospital of the Body of God). The Brothers of San Juan de Dios ran the hospital under the name of ''Hospital Corpus Christi'' until the 19th century. 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). The provincial hospital was promoted by the doctor Ángel Cobián Areal, mayor of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buildings And Structures In Pontevedra
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings). Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the term ''building'' compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs – primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) and the ''outside'' (a place that at times may be harsh and harmful). Ever since the first cave paintings, buildings have also become objects or canvasses of much artis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Teaching Hospitals
A teaching hospital is a hospital or medical centre that provides medical education and training to future and current health professionals. Teaching hospitals are almost always affiliated with one or more universities and are often co-located with medical schools.
