Hospitaller Order

The Hospitaller Order, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, is a medieval Catholic military order established in the late 11th century. Originally founded to provide care for sick and injured pilgrims in the Holy Land, the order evolved into a chivalric organization that combined religious, military, and humanitarian missions. They built hospitals and fortifications, participated in the Crusades, and played a significant role in medieval European politics. Today, the order exists as a charitable organization focused on healthcare and welfare, continuing its mission of helping those in need.
