A tour of the abandoned hospital de Arroios

Leave a Comment
In 2009, the Portuguese photographer John Gago saw a homeless man into the old hospital de Arroios, on Praça do Chile, Lisboa, and was curious. Tried to talk to some responsible for the space, without success, but eventually go in and see several people living in the former hospital rooms.

"The Hospital de Arroios is deserted, destroyed and vandalized, and today serves as a parking lot," explains John the Stutterer in his blog. "In recent years, several reconstruction projects have been proposed, but no advance. We can still find some medical objects and tokens of patients, "explained the photographer.

John the Stutterer, our already known, then decided to enter the building and photograph it â€" just as it has done elsewhere of Lisbon or the rest of the Country. "Despite its destruction, we can still find some beauty in the building," he concluded.

According to the blog Lisbon S.O.S, the hospital was built in 1705 and worked as a college for the training of Jesuits. Withstood the 1755 earthquake and was condemned in 1890. Then, he was converted into a hospital and came under the administration of the Royal Hospital of St. Joseph. Ran until 1993, with various specialties, at which point it was definitely deactivated.

See some of the photos of the Hospital de Arroios, which continues its path of deterioration.
