Abstract
Juan Ciudad, the future Saint John of God, arrived as a child in the town of Oropesa, in the province of Toledo, to be raised by a family dedicated to livestock, thus working as a shepherd. When he grew older, he enlisted as a soldier in the companies of the Count of Gold-pesa who went to Hondarribia and Vienna in support of Emperor Charles. After a journey of adventures and wanderings, he would return to his childhood city to show himself as a nurse at the service of the most needy in the town and his region. The times that Juan de Dios resided in Oropesa take on special importance in his biography, as they show us the evolution that took place in his personality and that partly explain his dedication to his hospital reform work. This work aims to review the historical presence of Juan de Dios in the Toledo city of Oropesa as the place of residence of his youth and the influence it had on the configuration of his personality.
