Bimaristan

Reconstruction of the Nasrid Bimaristan of Granada, in Spain (former al-Andalus)

A bimaristan (Persian: بيمارستان, romanized: bīmārestān; Arabic: بِيْمَارِسْتَان, romanized: bīmāristān), or simply maristan,[clarification needed] known in Arabic also as dar al-shifa ("house of healing"; darüşşifa in Turkish), is a hospital in the historic Islamic world. Its origins can be traced back to Sassanian Empire prior to the Muslim conquest of Persia.[1][2]

The word "bimaristan" is still used in the dialect of Persian spoken in Iran for hospitals.
