This is a historical document, a Real Cédula (Royal Decree) issued by the Spanish monarchy and its council. The decree mandates the establishment of a college and school of surgery in Madrid. It specifies that the institution should be located within the new building of the General Hospital and that corresponding ordinances should be created to govern its operation independently. This document offers valuable insights into the history of medicine and education in Spain, the organization of healthcare institutions, and the role of the monarchy in promoting scientific advancement during the period. It is a primary source of information for understanding the development of surgical training and medical infrastructure in Madrid.
