Abstract

In the following lines there is a brief history of the Mercy Hospital, Insane or also called Mindless; located in “Santiago del Cercado” neighborhood, in the middle of the historical center. Lima, an old colonial city, housed hospitals that did not have a real disposition to treat the sick and even less the insane ones, who were interned there and forgotten by their relatives. This problem caused that with the development of medical science, the doctors started to worry about these patients, raising their voices of protest and making society in general cared for them, therefore, a worthy place that would be able to show the scientific advances of that time was created.
