by Belsaita The full name of this hospital is "Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau", but we usually call it simply "Sant Pau". You may find odd to visit a hospital just for tourism... but if you do it, you'll see is worth it! The complex is a masterpiece of the architect Lluís Domčnech i Montaner, and in 1997, together with the Palau de la Música Catalana, it was declared World Heritage by UNESCO for its "singular architectural and artistic beauty". You'll see more pics at my travelogue: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/i/97e0f/ Leave a Comment Phone: 93.488.20.78Directions: It is very easy to find: from Sagrada Familia (Nativity side), take Avda.

From La Sagrada Familia it's a leisurely 10 minutes walk uphill to this beautiful hospital. Just follow Av. de Gaudi, which is also good for a coffee or lunchbreak, since this Av. is lined with bars and restaurants, some with outside seating. The hospital is an incredible structure by architect Lluis Domenech i Montaner, founded in 1902 and still in full use today. There are a few different buildings on the grounds. Just follow the green arrows on the road if you'd like to see all the pavilions. The walk takes about 1/2 hour. This site is also part of the 'Route Modernisme' (see website) The hospital has an information desk on this inside the mainbuilding. Entrance: free Metro: Line 5 Station: Hospital Sant Pau

 (11) Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau by genispp The Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau has reached its 600th anniversary. Ever since it came into being, in 1401, the Hospital has constantly evolved. Its original goal -"to serve the poor and the pilgrims in Christian charity"- has been adapted to our times -"to be a hospital that is open to society and to its health-care setting, client-focussed, competitive and dynamic". The building, originally located in carrer Hospital, in the heart of Barcelona, was relocated in 1930 when the current hospital, now in carrer Sant Antoni Maria Claret, was officially opened. On 12 December, 2000 a further step was taken when the first stone of what will be the New Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau was laid. In 1997 Unesco proclamed This Hospital Patrimony of Humanity Leave a Comment

Together with The Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, built by the same art nouveau architect, the hospital is a World Heritage Site. It is still a hospital in use but much of the medical practice is being moved to more modern buildings. Some of the pavilions on the site will become museums. The present hospital was constructed in the beginning of the 20th century by Lluis Domenech i Montaner. He did not like big hospitals but thought that fresh air and art would make the patients well quicker. He built 16 pavilions in a big garden. Between the pavilions there were corridors underground. The hospital has been decorated by several artists and there are statues, tilled roofs, mosaics and more. You can join a tour if you want to see more, but I only walked around in the grounds, which you can do anytime.

 A courtyard by SirRichard When U think of an Hospital you imagine a huge impersonnal white building with many litthe windows... this one will change your ideas about Hospitals! More like a fairy tale town, this many buildings located near the Sagrada Familia church look like an architecture museum. Everywhere you look at there are wonderful modernist buildings, pavillions, roofs, tiles... And is FREE, as it is a working hospital, you don't have to pay (or be ill LOL) to enter. There are guided tours too. Don't miss the underground tunels connecting all the pavilllions. They were used as shelter during the Civil War.

by arlequin_g After your visit to Sagrada Familia I raccomend you visit this wonderful work by the architect Domenech i Montaner. Behind the main building you can take a walk and see the numerous pavilions with the colourful potter roofs shining with the sun light. You won't regreat it, I'm sure. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the Av Gaudi and you'll find it at the end of it, you won't get lost. It's about a 10 minutes walk You'll enjoy this nice avenue where you can seat, relax for a while while having a cold drink.

by Maurizioago This working hospital is an Art Nouveau masterpiece by Lluis Domenech i Montaner. After his death the works were continued by his son. It was built between 1901 and 1930. It is made up of many pavillions; I think more than forty. Leave a Comment
