Summary:

The purpose of this work is to make known what refers to a building that unfortunately had been left in the most complete abandonment, fortunately there is now an interest in returning it to the architectural quality that it had for a fundamental time for the capital city of Puebla de los Ángeles. The former convent and psychiatric hospital dedicated to saint Roch, was an extension and derivation of the one that was originally built by Bernardino Álvarez in Mexico City, called [hospital] San Hipolito, both institutions of assistance to the convalescents of limited resources and the insane. Founded during the viceregal period, it was the first psychiatric hospital in the city, in charge of caring for people with mental illnesses. Through detailed research, the author explores the origins of the hospital, its architecture, its role in society and the transformations it has undergone over time. The work also highlights the importance of San Roque in the context of the evolution of mental health institutions in Mexico and their relationship with European hospitals. In addition, it highlights how the hospital was part of a network of institutions created by religious orders that marked the development of the city of Puebla. The text preserves the historical and architectural memory of this emblematic building and its impact on Puebla society.
