Second only to the Fort of São Sebastião in size and grandiosity, this imposing neoclassical hospital was built by the Portuguese in 1877. For a time it was the largest hospital in sub-Saharan Africa, and an attractive one at that, with gardens replete with ponds and statues. Today it's crumbling and semi-ruined, although part of it, amazingly, still serves as a district hospital.
