Hospital del Rey, Melilla

Located in Melilla, Spain, the Hospital del Rey was built in the early 20th century as a hospital for treating infectious diseases. Constructed in 1925, it was designed by the architect Francisco Tello and Ricardo García y Guereta. The hospital had a total of four pavilions, with the third one dedicated to tuberculosis patients and the fourth one to pediatric services. The hospital was later integrated into the Servicio Nacional de Hospitales in the 1960s and was eventually closed in the 1970s as new hospitals were built.

In the 1980s, the building was restored and now houses the Archivo Histórico de Melilla. It is situated on the Plaza de la Parada in the historic district of Melilla La Vieja. The building is a notable example of Spanish architecture and is protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural and a Conjunto Histórico.
