Spanish Military Hospital Museum

St Augustine


Not for the faint of heart, guided tours of this museum discuss Colonial-era medical techniques in all their gory glory: amputations, leeching, the whole shebang. Housed in a reconstruction of the original hospital, the museum will make you glad you're not a patient in 1791. Discounted tickets can be reserved online.
