Fontilles and leprosy in Spain

Workspaces for women admitted to the Fontilles Sanatorium

Women's areas, in the 1910s.

The sewing building (in the centre of the picture) was next to the laundry (left) and the disinfection pavilion, the workplace for the women admitted to the sanatorium. This series of workspaces was located next to the Virgen de los Desamparados pavilion, where the women lived. The fence that delimited this women's living and work area is visible in the picture.
