hospital de santiago

This a really beautiful mid 16th century building to the NW of the centre of the old city of Ubeda. It is still very much in use as a concert hall, dance school, library and exhibition area.

Brilliant gallery for art exhibitions. It was a bit manic with a Star Wars film and stuff festival.This is a bit outside the city centre but I hope tourists will visit.

We were not expecting much at the Hospital de Santiago - after all, entry is free and there were no other tourists in sight. It is a large, solid Renaissance-era building, impressive in its own right. We were more impressed when we entered through the heavy doors to find a stunning double-arched courtyard. After that, the austerity of the exterior dissipates completely. Go through one archway and you enter the large and highly decorative chapel. Go up the broad staircase and above your head are some magnificent frescoes. Simply awesome. The site now houses an assortment of cultural functions and is run by the local municipality, but it was very quiet when we visited.

It is the biggest Renaissance building in Ubeda and it was constructed by the architect Andres de Vandelvira. Since it is very big, it is considered as the Andalusian El Escorial. One can go in the building and see its large and beautiful patio. There is also a majestic and large staircase where one can go up and see the beautiful ceilings and designs there. Entrance is free.

Worth a look and thought it was very lovely. Walk around town and you can tick all the sights off in a couple of hours and then go for some tapas and a cana!

The Hospital de Santiago is the biggest Renaissance building in Ubeda and it was constructed by the architect Andres de Vandelvira. Since it is very big, it is considered as the Andalusian El Escorial. Diego de los Cobos was the Bishop of Jaen and he ran the hospital at the time of King Carlos V, Diego being the nephew of the king's Secretary of State, Francisco de los Cobos. The bishop is buried in the chapel. The building was started in 1562 and finished in 1575. The style is late Renaissance in the Mannerist style. The facade is quite plain and has four towers that are decorative. The facade has a relief of Santiago Matamoros because many of the embers of the family were part of the Military Order of Santiago. The main door has the inscription of "Maria concebida sin pecado", which means "Mary conceived without sin".There is a large square patio in the middle of the building and two other lateral patios, which are rectangular in form. One of the lateral patios has an impressive staircase that goes to the first floor, with a marble banister and a dome filled with beautiful frescoes. The chapel opens up to the large main patio. the central patio has a double arcade with marble Corinthian columns with Mudejar style. The staircase is monumental and the vault has frescos that show the Castilian kings, the fathers of the church, and female saints.There is a very big and beautiful chapel inside the building. The altarpiece of the chapel is gilded and is a work of Blas Brito and Luis de Zayas. The vaults of the chapel are covered with paintings done in fresco. The sacristy is decorated with paintings showing the old gods and the fathers of the church, as well as the figure of Christ fallen and an Ecce Homo. The pre-sacristy has paintings of the four prophets in vivid colors.The building was used as a hospital until 1975. Today the building has an exhibition space, an auditorium, library, dance school, and is the home of the Youth Orchestra of Andalusia, and is used for cultural purposes.

Monumental construcción del siglo XVI, de estilo herreriano, que en sus orígenes fue hospital y que tras su cierre como tal en los años 70 se reconvirtió en centro cultural y de exposiciones. En su interior alberga la biblioteca municipal, una capilla reconvertida en auditorio, salas de conferencias y salas de exposiciones.Imperdibles el patio de columnas y la escalera de acceso al primer piso, que impresiona por sus dimensiones y altura.

Edificio monumental de grandes dimensiones pero muy armoniosoEl patio fastuosoSe estaba celebrando una feria de bodas y la verdad es que el Marco era inconparable

El omnipresente Vandelvira fue el responsable de este esplendido hospital. Sobrio en el exterior, cuenta con un bello patio y estupendas pinturas al fresco entre las que destacan los de la bóveda de la escalera. Algo alejado del centro, fue lo primero que visitamos al llegar en coche. Sino es vuestro caso, venced la pereza y acercaros a verlo. No defrauda.

El Hospital de Santiago está situado en una de las entradas del casco histórico de Úbeda. Es una construcción sobria del siglo XVI, siglo muy prolífico en esta ciudad. Merecen la pena los frescos de la bóveda que se encuentra sobre la escalera imperial que lleva a primer piso.Si tienes la suerte de que el día de tu visita está en la recepción Antonio no dejes de preguntarle por la historia del edificio. Es encantador y te lo explicará con vocación de guía.

El edificio es espectacular con un patio central precioso y una acústica privilegiada.Acudimos a la Gala del Cinema Sound homenaje a Audrey Hepburn.Fue galardonado Sean Hepburn Ferrer con el olivo de oro por su difusión del cine y las artes y como director del Festival de cine de Granada.A continuación la artista Alessia Desogus nos ofreció su nuevo espectáculo "Casi en blanco y negro" con canciones del cine de los 50 y mucho cabaret y burlesque, acompañada de "The swing gang" .Sobre la actuación de 0 a 10..un 11. Estuvieron de lujo.Un espacio cultural genial en Úbeda. Larga vida al Festival Cinema Sound.

Con una cúpula de alegre colorido, y un claustro con encanto. No dejéis de entrar y deleitaros con las pinturas en techos y paredes de algunas salas. En este lugar ofertan muchas actividades, que si tienes tiempo, merecen la pena realizar.

On n'a pu visitée que le patio et l'église de cet ancien hôpital de style renaissance. L'église a été reconverti en salle de concert mais il a gardé une partie de son mobilier d'origine comme son retable en bois dans le cœur. Les fresques au plafond sont magnifiques. Le patio central est assez classique avec ses arcades et sa petite fontaine centrale.

Edificio que tenia una exposición de maquetas, curioso e interesante, esta un poco separado del centro historico pero dando un pequeño paseo se llega con facilidad y merece la pena.

El edificio es impresionante. Es uno de los mejores ejemplos de edificio renacentista civil de españa
