Hospital Maciel is a hospital in Montevideo, located in the western part of the Old City. It is one of the oldest hospitals in Uruguay. The land was originally donated in Spanish colonial times by philanthropist Francisco Antonio Maciel, who teamed up with Mateo Vidal to establish a hospital and charity. The first building was extended between 1781 and 1788, and later expanded on over time. The actual building is dated to 1825 with the plans of (son of ) and later Bernardo Poncini (wing on the Guaraní street, 1859), (corner of Guaraní and 25 de Mayo) and (1889).^[1] The hospital has a temple, the Charity Chapel, built in Greek style by Miguel Estévez in 1798.^[2]
