San Juan de Sios Museum - Casa de los Pisa in Granada

San Juan de Dios (Saint John of God) is considered one of Spain's leading religious figures. He founded the Brothers Hospitallers of Saint John of God, a worldwide Catholic religous institution dedicated to the care of the poor and sick.


The Casa de los Pisa, where San Juan de Dios museum is located, was built by the Pisa family in the fifteenth century. This wealthy family became famous for caring for Saint John of God when he was very ill.

He died on 8 March 1550s in this house. The Pisa family preserved all the furniture and his belondings as they were when the saint lived there.

In the nineteenth century, the building was acquired by the Hospitaller Order of St John of God, who regard it as one of the most important elements of their heritage.
