Fodor's Review:

Originally built in 1494 for the Pisa family, this house's claim to fame is its relationship to San Juan de Dios, who came to Granada in 1538 and founded a charity hospital to take care of the poor and abandoned. Befriended by the Pisa family, he was taken into the Pisa home when he fell ill in February 1550. A month later, he died there, at the age of 55. Since that time, devotees of the saint have traveled from around the world to this house with a stone Gothic facade, now run by the Hospital Order of St. John. Inside are numerous pieces of priceless religious works of art, an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures depicting St. John, jewelry, and furniture.
