A sad hole in the wall
In Calle de Ramalleres, 17 in the walls of the Casa de la Misericòrdia, in El Raval there is a hole framed in wood. Poor women who were inacapble of feeding their new-born babies would leave them here on a platform which turned. The nuns inside hearing the baby’s cries would spin the turntable round and take the infant. Today the hole is blocked off. Map here
