Santo Domingo part 4

 

IMG_4191 (407x640)  this was a convent where the nuns took care of mentally ill patients.

IMG_4197 (640x480)    When a patient died they were buried under the floor of the convent.  That was true of the hospital, also.

 

 

IMG_4209 (640x480)   this was a hospital put up by the Spanish for all the people.
