| Summary: | A family foundation created by cardinal Tavera: the San Juan Bautista Hospital in Toledo: Juan Pardo Tavera (1472-1545), one of the best advisers the for Emperor Carlos V, founded a large hospital in the outskirts of Toledo which was devoted to St John the Baptist and legally passed on to this religious order. This cardinal also made arrangements for his own burial in the hospital church and instructed Berruguete to design a marble sepulchre for him. The cited church also exhibited several very late paintings by El Greco which were displayed on the altarpiece. The cardinal also stipulated that the cited hospital should be part of a secular Board ruled by his family and, more particularly, by his nephew Arias Pardo de Saavedra, Marshal of Castile, and his sons (Marquises of Malagón, later Dukes of Santisteban del Puerto and Medinaceli). The cited Board was fully operative until the 20th century but nowadays the hospital is used for cultural purposes. Uno de los mejores consejeros del emperador Carlos V, el cardenal Juan Pardo Tavera (1472-1545), fundó en las afueras de la ciudad de Toledo un imponente hospital bajo la advocación de San Juan Bautista, al que dejó como heredero universal de sus bienes. Además, el prelado quiso descansar eternamente en la iglesia de dicho hospital, con impresionante sepulcro en mármol obra de Berruguete, la misma iglesia en la que El Greco realizó sus últimos lienzos para cubrir los retablos del templo. También fue voluntad del cardenal Tavera dejar a su familia el gobierno del hospital, su principal obra, en condición de patronato laico, concretamente en la descendencia de su sobrino, el mariscal de Castilla Arias Pardo de Saavedra - los marqueses de Malagón, luego duques de Santisteban del Puerto y de Medinaceli -, en quienes quedó vinculado el patronazgo de este hospital toledano que funcionó como tal hasta el siglo XX y que hoy tiene otros usos culturales. |
