Abstract
The article describes the oldest locations and buildings for the treatment of patients in Rijeka. According to historical sources, the first known site for health care and treatment was a hospital founded in the 14th or 15th century in the Old Town, in the St Sebastian Street, in which also existed a little church of the same name. It is not known for sure when the hospital was moved to a new location, to a house opposite the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Statute of Rijeka from 1530 mentions it under the name Hospital of St. Mary (hospitali Sanctae Mariae) but later changed its name to St. Spirit Hospital. It was named after the chapel located in the same block of buildings. As in the previous location, there was an orphanage and an almshouse within the hospital. The hospital and the orphanage operated in this building until 1822, when, at the initiative of the Municipality, they moved to Brajda, in an adapted complex of buildings of the former wax factory. The building of the former hospital has been adapted for residential use. At the end of World War II, the building was destroyed under aerial bombardment and later a new building was built in its place.

Summary
Sažetak U članku se opisuju najstarije lokacije i zgrade namijenjene liječenju bolesnika u Rijeci. S obzirom na to da su stari i drevni brojevi svih kuća koje su okruživale crkvu bili različiti, može se zaključiti kako su od davnina sve kuće izgrađene kao samostalni objekti i nisu nastale naknadnim pregrađivanjem neke veće kuće. Ono što ih dodatno povezuje jesu stari i drevni brojevi sakristije, koji su isti (395 i 234/232), što znači da je sakristija nekad bila sastavni dio ove kuće, a naknadno je postala dio crkve. Istočni dio kuće 147 izgrađen je nad dvije južne od četiri pomoćne prostorije zapadnog krila Principija, te nad dijelom Principija koji se nalazi južno od ovih prostorija, a čiji je pod izvorno bio na nešto nižoj razini. Je li hospital bio prva funkcija zgrade ili je to nastao adaptacijom (bilo na ovoj ili nekoj drugoj lokaciji), ostaje otvoreno pitanje
