The nave of Templo del Ex-Hospital de San Roque at Puebla de Zaragoza Av. Don Juan de Palafox y. Mendoza 605. The temple dates from 1672 ad is also known as the Church of the Just Judge. The history of the temple is linked to that of the hospital founded by the Hospitaller Corporation of Charity, named after Saint Hippolytus the Martyr, whose members were commonly known as Hippolytes. The hospital was initially conceived with the convalescent patients arriving on Spanish ships at the port of San Juan de Ulúa. For this purpose, trains were sent from the city of Puebla to transport the sick as they traveled through various towns in New Spain. The presence of the Hipólitos in Puebla dates back to 1571, when, with the help of the city's residents, they were provided with a space to practice hospitality. However, it wasn't until 21 July, 1592, that Bishop Diego Romano granted his license for the founding of the hospital, while Viceroy Luis de Velasco did the same on July 15, 1593. Alonso del Moral previously donated a group of houses to the hospital. The hospital was dedicated to Saint Roque in 1614. The temple was funded by Roque de Pastrana, a military man who also contributed to the construction of the Cathedral's dome. 22 November, 1624, Friar Cristóbal de Anaya, the eldest brother of the Hipólitos, proposed in the Puebla city council that Saint Roque be made the city's patron saint to protect it from the plague and all contagious diseases. During the Juárez administration, the temple and the hospital were expropriated and ordered to close. However, since no one purchased the property, it was allowed to continue providing hospital services to the needy. This lasted until 1869, when the patients were transferred to the former convent of Santa Rosa, which at that time became the men's psychiatric hospital. The temple compliments the 1987 Puebla de Zaragoza UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.
