Foundling Hospital

found-ling hos-pi-tl

I created the Foundling Hospital in Florence as an orphanage for children. It included a turntable placed in the wall allowing people to place children on it from the street side. Then, the turntable was moved and nuns would take the children into the orphanage. The place was especially helpful and useful during the Black Death because a lot children lost their parents to the disease.
