Hospital de la Santa Creu I de Sant Pau
Carrer de Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 167
In the early 1400's six smaller hospitals merged together to form Hospital de Sant Pau. Between 1901 and 1930, LluÃs Domenech i Muntaner designed and began to build the complex that is now, still today, functioning as a hospital. His son, Pere, completed the work after Muntaner's death in 1923. Muntaner thought that with a grandiose, beautiful setting, patients would heal more rapidly. He set out to create 26 individual pavilions, placed within larger gardens. He thought if patients could go outside, into that bold, brightly decorated area it would brighten their day. The Hospital was also declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997.
