Welcome. This is the house where the founder of the Little Sisters of the Abandoned Elderly, Father Saturnino López Novoa, lived from 1870 until his death in 1905. It retains the characteristics of a late Renaissance palace from the 17th century: a semicircular arch in the entrance courtyard, columns, capitals, and the balanced appearance typical of the Renaissance. There is also a coat of arms, now an indistinct mass, corresponding to the lineage of the Ximénez Cerdán family.

You will enjoy an emotional visit, witnessing the faithful recreation of the house where Father Saturnino lived with his family and visiting the rooms where he spent more than three decades carrying out his charitable work. You will also learn about his biography and the origins of the Little Sisters' Foundation, thanks to the compelling personalities of Father Saturnino and Saint Teresa Jornet Ibars.

We have meticulously taken care of every detail to provide you with the unique experience of stepping back in time to a typical house in the city of Huesca at the end of the 19th century. You can visit the various rooms of the house, including the courtyard, the cellar, the bakery, the kitchens, the living rooms and bedrooms of Father Saturnino and the family he lived with, the oratory, and more.

And all this with cutting-edge museum technology!

We would like to thank Juan Ignacio Echave Otegui for his photographic report.
