Fontilles and leprosy in Spain

Plans of the Fontilles Sanatorium

The women's infirmary, in 1956.

This rectangular pavilion was designed and built around 1925 and was intended as a women's infirmary. Its design follows the hygiene postulates relating to lighting: large east-facing windows and ventilation through upper oculi, which allowed cross ventilation in the upper parts of the room, and windows facing each other on the side façades.
