What you can expect

  • We invite you to discover the Hospital de Antezana from a different, intimate, and delicious perspective. On this guided tour, we'll explore the history of one of the city's most iconic buildings while delving into a tradition that has marked centuries: chocolate.
    During this 45-minute tour, you'll get to know the following spaces: the Mudejar courtyard (15th century), the Golden Age Medicine Museum, the medicinal plant garden, the rooms of San Ignacio de Loyola, and the hospital chapel.
    Between centuries-old walls, we'll talk about care, hospitality, and everyday life. We'll discover how chocolate, which came from overseas, went from being an exotic luxury to becoming a social ritual, a comforting medicine, and a symbol of togetherness.

    History, heritage, and the aroma of cocoa come together in a unique experience that awakens the senses and connects us with the past in a warm and intimate way.
