ROCKY'S ITALY: Siena - Santa Maria della Scala

Описание: Although currently a museum, Santa Maria della Scala was once a civic hospital dedicated to caring for the sick, abandoned children and the poor. But since Siena lies on Europe’s most important pilgrimage route, the Via Francigena, the hospital was also a vital stop for pilgrims looking for shelter, food, or medical attention. Founded in 898 CE by a cobbler, Santa Maria della Scala was one of Europe’s first hospitals and is one of the world’s oldest surviving hospitals.
