The Old Hospital of Santa Maria is a significant historical site in the Spanish city of Lleida. It is a prime example of Catalan Gothic civil architecture from the 15th and 16th centuries. The building's structure is simple, with a square layout and a square courtyard in the center. The ground floor has thick walls to support the weight of the roof beams and thinner walls on the upper floors. The building was declared an Architectural Artistic Monument by royal order on March 15, 1920.
