The Museum of Fine Arts of Córdoba shares headquarters with the Julio Torres Romero Museum in the old Hospital of Charity of Our Lord Jesus Christ which was built in the 15th century by initiative of the Catholic Monarchs. The museum's funds come from the various confiscations of religious temples in the province that took place throughout the 19th century, in addition to the numerous donations and purchasesthat have not stopped occurring since its opening with the aim of expanding the collections. At first, the archaeological and fine arts works coexisted in the same building until 1895 when it was decided to move into the same building. The collections were divided and those related to archeology became part of the Archaeological Museum.
