In the late 15th century a significant part of the Convent of São Domingos’ enclosure was occupied by the new Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos. Located in the eastern side of Rossio square, soon this large block became known as the island where the Royal Hospital stands. Although the hospital building was destroyed first by a fire in 1750 and then by a devastating earthquake in 1755, only in 1769 king José decided to transfer it to the former Jesuit College of Santo Antão. This article aims to trace the history of the final years of the Hospital Real de Todos-os-Santos building and the island where it was located.
