Spanish Military Hospital Museum

A great Museum that includes a tour. Learn how early Spanish medical professionals combined surgical skill with herbal remedies to care for patients in an era long before modern hospitals. It’s an educational and engaging journey through the evolution of medical science.

Really enjoyed this experience. I can’t think of our tour guide’s name for the life of me but she had dark hair and curly bangs and was super informative. I am now an expert on amputations and medicinal herbs lol. 10/10 recommend.

Went with 4th grade field trip and had a great time learning about the history of the military hospital, apothecary, and surgical suite. Our tour guide did a good job engaging with the kids 👏

Thoroughly appreciated the depth of knowledge and sharing of information our tour guide gave her audience. Learned really interesting tidbits about additional eras, medical studies and philosophies - all while she kept a great “bedside manner.” Tour date September 13, 2025 at the 1:00 time-slot.

We had Joe and Jose as our tour guides.They did a good job of piggybacking on each other and the tour was very informative. It was very interesting to see how care used to be performed. Jose was very knowledgeable on medical practices. Great tour for anyone.

The “Quackery: The Dark Side of Medicine” was worth every penny! Extremely informative, interactive, and fun! I work in the medical field and this taught me so much more! It was an amazing learning experience and so much fun! Definitely would recommend for anyone who is interested in learning more about the “dark side of medicine” and how much things have changed! Thank you so much for an amazing experience!

For anyone with an interest in the practice of medicine-or medical history in general- this tour is a can't miss stop. Our guide, Jose, was extremely knowledgeable and was eager to answer all of our questions. Highly recommend.

Day two of family fun summer vacation kicked off bright and early with breakfast and a boat ride. Following some typical Florida weather of scattered showers every few minutes, we ventured into the St. Augustine Hospital Museum. My family and I were welcomed by very personable individuals, and had a stellar tour guide, Katie. Katie is very knowledgeable of the hospital’s history, tools/instruments, and surgical procedures. As well as, Katie is great with children and making sure everyone is having a blast. She also informed us of many different surgical cases, as well as the medicine and operation of pharmacy. All in all, this tour is well worth it and there’s a cute garden and gift shop at the end. Much history, laughs, and all in all a great time. Thank you and much appreciation!
