The hospital for the sick poor that Diego de los Cobos, bishop of Jaén, had built together with a pantheon church and a palace. Andrés de Vandelvira designed it in 1562 and the works ended in 1575, as the end wall of the staircase records; its courtyard has a double arcade of Carrara marble columns. It is now a cultural centre for exhibitions and congresses, and a library.
