===Hospital=== [[File:Palau generalitat9.jpg|thumb|left|[[Palace of the Generalitat Valenciana|Palau de la Generalitat Valenciana]]]] In 1409, a hospital was founded and placed under the [[patronage]] of [[Santa María de los Inocentes|Santa Maria dels Innocents]]; to this was attached a confraternity devoted to recovering the bodies of the unfriended dead in the city and within a radius of {{cvt|5|km}} around it. At the end of the 15th century this confraternity separated from the hospital, and continued its work under the name of "Cofradia para el ámparo de los desamparados". King [[Philip IV of Spain]] and the [[Duke of Arcos]] suggested the building of the new chapel, and in 1647 the [[Viceroy]], [[Conde de Oropesa]], who had been preserved from [[Bubonic plague|the bubonic plague]], insisted on carrying out their project. The Blessed Virgin was proclaimed patroness of the city under the title of ''Virgen de los desamparados'' (Virgin of the Forsaken), and Archbishop Pedro de Urbina, on 31 June 1652, laid the cornerstone of the new chapel of this name. The archiepiscopal palace, a [[grain trade|grain market]] in the time of the Moors, is simple in design, with an inside cloister and achapel. In 1357, the arch that connects it with the cathedral was built. Inside the council chamber are preserved the portraits of all the prelates of Valencia.
