- Resum
- Old age as a stage of life has been approached from multiple perspectives, most of the time from ambiguity. The people of the medieval and modern centuries protected the elderly through hospitals, considering them among the neediest. This institutional support complemented the care provided by relatives and neighbors. Hospitals served both for those seeking a voluntary and spiritual retirement and for the treatment of disabilities and chronic illnesses typical of old age. The Vera Cruz hospital, founded by Pedro Fernández de Velasco in the 15th century in Medina de Pomar, is an excellent example of Renaissance charity. The community of elderly housed there and the volumes of its library are an accurate reflection of the conception of old age by a Castilian nobleman at the end of the Middle Ages.
