Fontilles and leprosy in Spain

Clinic and laboratory of the Fontilles Sanatorium

The house of the physician's assistant.

For decades, the physician's assistant was one of the few members of the medical staff to reside in Fontilles. This building was built in 1923 to accommodate the people who held this position and their families. It is located on the valley slope reserved for the residences of the «healthy» staff. During the Second Republic, the premises were used for music band rehearsals.
