The Giuseppe Vasquez Hospital is a colonial-style building located in the southern suburbs of the country.
It was built in 1928, by the will of Francesco Vasquez Italia, a wealthy industrialist who emigrated to Argentina, and although born as a health facility, due to various political and bureaucratic vicissitudes, it was never used as such.
The building is in Art Nouveau style, spread over two levels, based on a project brought by Vasquez directly from Argentina. In front of the facade of the building there is a Doric colonnade on which a panoramic terrace rests.
Inside there are ten rooms on the ground floor with services and the pharmacy, on the first floor twenty rooms with dormitories for patients, numerous services and surgical rooms ready for use.
Some popular beliefs hover around this building.
