Royal Hospital of All Saints: Lisbon and Health

The book Royal Hospital of All Saints: Lisbon and Health reveals surprising historical and documentary data related to one of the most emblematic buildings in Lisbon, the first hospital created by royal initiative in Portugal, which would be heavily damaged by the Earthquake of 1755 and completely deactivated twenty years later.

This work is the result of a partnership between the Lisbon City Council and the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, as well as with CHAM / Center for Humanities of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of the Nova University of Lisbon and the University of the Azores, which partnered with various public and private partners.

With a multidisciplinary approach, ranging from Archaeology and History, Architecture and Urbanism to administration and management, not forgetting pharmacopoeia and public health policies, this book is, without a doubt, concrete proof of the scientific quality of its authors.
