title: [Hospital Panorama in Zamora at the middle of the XVIIIth Century].
abstract: The XVIIIth century was an era of reforms in multiple fields, including healthcare. To advance in its study, the present article delves into the knowledge about the hospital network in the middle of said century within the territories which integrate the current province of Zamora. Accordingly, the type of establishment, its funding, organisation and operation are analysed. As a result, a panorama dotted with numerous rural refuges and some hospitals in the centre of certain built-up areas is drawn, dedicated, basically, to the reception and religious assistance of poor vagrants. Such establishments were funded, above all, by agricultural income and by census rents. They counted , moreover, on a notable, ecclesiastic presence.
