Homoeopathic Institute and Hospital of San José

This innovative building in Chamberí once housed the first hospital in Spain dedicated to homeopathy, funded through public subscriptions and built between 1874 and 1878, under the direction of architect José Segundo de Lema. It is a U-shaped building (a central body with two lateral pavilions), with four wards and a roofed convalescence room.

The building is laid out around a central courtyard garden, which is open to the street. The main facade is a two-storey glazed gallery/corridor with a wooden structure, whereas the windows on either side of the courtyard are very simple in design. 

It measures 3,835 m² and was declared a Place of Cultural Interest by Decree of 30 January 1997. Then, the Autonomous Community of Madrid was driven to reconstruct it. The works finished in 2008, on the 125^th anniversary of the building. The Hospital has an important bibliographical collection on homoeopathy.

It is currently home to Madrid's first Brewster School, a prestigious American school founded in 1820 that offers an innovative educational approach with studies from nursery to high school, which began its educational journey in this building in September 2023.
