This historic building dates back to the 16th Century. From 1565 to 1973, it was the Hospital de la Misericordia y Caridad, and later became the San Juan de Dios Hospital. Nowadays it houses the Museo de la Ciudad (the city museum). Different rooms depict the day-to-day life of the city, from before the arrival of the Spanish, to the present time. Through figures, maps, utensils and ceramics, visitors may learn how the traditions, customs and ways of living in Quito have changed and evolved over time.
