The General Hospital of Madrid, begun in 1755 by José de Hermosilla and carried on from 1769 by Francesco Sabatini; by 1781 it had eight hundred beds, but work stopped with only two fifths of the plan built, and the north front was left unfinished from 1805. It was a hospital until 1965. Restored, it is the Sabatini building of the Museo Reina Sofía.
