Its origins date back more than two centuries, when it served an assistance role for the most vulnerable population of the province. It remained in operation until 1973. Today, the Church of San Juan de Dios stands on this site. The land of the former hospital is administered by the Beneficencia de Ica.
It is located on the third block of Tacna Street in Ica.
Despite the damage caused by the 2007 earthquake and the restoration work carried out afterward, national and foreign visitors continue to visit the site to admire its imposing architecture.
The patroness of this church is Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Every year, novenas begin on July 7, with the main celebration taking place on July 16.
Admission is free: Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
