El hospital de San Juan de Jerusalén. Intervención arqueológica [The Hospital of St John of Jerusalem. Archaeological excavation]

Abstract

The results of the 2016 archaeological excavation campaign at the ruins of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem of Bargota in the municipality of Mañeru are presented, together with a preview of those of the 2017 campaign. Given the historical context, the importance of this St John order site as a point of assistance on the Way of St James, especially between the 13^th and 14^th centuries, is evident. The fact that it became a female community of freiras of the Hospital in the 14^th century is also worthy of note.
