In the Plaza del Potro, opposite the Posada of the same name and sharing premises with the Julio Romero de Torres Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Córdoba has been located since 1862, in the most important part of which used to be the Hospital de la Caridad, an establishment which was set up in the last quarter of the 15th century, although its most significant architectural remains, such as the stairway, the patio and chapel belong to the first years of the 16th century. Nevertheless, its current architectural setting is the result of various changes which occurred mainly throughout the 20th century, by connecting some adjoining buildings to cater for the new requirements deriving from the donations and deposits which it has received.
