00:02Archaeologists in Lima have uncovered the remains of a hospital dating back to the 16th century.
00:08The hospital treated sailors that were ill who stopped at Pacific ports when Peru was a Spanish colony.
00:14We have found the traces of a church and a hospital that they believed were disappeared,
00:19which is the Church of the Holy Spirit, which had an annexed hospital where people were also buried.
00:27The experts located the entrance of the church where mass was held for the sick.
00:32They also discovered walls, floors and tiles, human skeletons and other artifacts.
00:38Aparte de los hallazgos funerarios, se ha encontrado también, de por sí me parece que lo más representativo es la
00:43arquitectura misma,
00:44que conserva los materiales y las técnicas tradicionales, los cuales nosotros hemos restaurado.
00:50Se ha encontrado un piso de azulejos valencianos del siglo XVIII,
00:52y se ha encontrado también un área con evidencia prehispánica muy interesante.
00:57The hospital operated until shortly before 1821,
01:02when Peru's independence was proclaimed.
01:04The reasons for its closure are unknown.
01:06Thank you very much.
