The first hospital of the New World now is a neglected ruin right in the colonial area of Santo Domingo - easily accessible and crowded by pigeons.
The building was so strong, it withstood centuries of attacks of pirates as well as earthquakes, only to be severely damaged in 1911 by a hurricane. The building was damaged so badly, it was considered a risk for passers-by, and the demolition was ordered. Right now, we were very surprised to see the impressive ruins of the Hospital San Nicolás de Bari completely unprotected, with a parking lot on one side, and a church on the other. It almost felt wrong to just walk in, but this is the way to enter: you just walk past the cars in the lot, and as you go through an arch, you are "in" - if it were not for the fact that the arch is not attached to any wall.
