Experience Highlights

Visit Barcelona's Sant Pau Modernista, a knowledge centre that has become a benchmark in the city. What was once a hospital is today a space where health and culture take centre stage. It is made up of 12 pavilions, including the Sick Pavilion, the Sala Hipóstila or old emergency room and the operating theatre. The complex is made up of different green areas connected by underground galleries one kilometre long.

With the entrance ticket you can tour the 19th-century hospital, which has become an immense architectural jewel with impressive stained-glass windows and statues of gargoyles and angels.

  • Discover one of the most important works of Spanish architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
  • In the Sant Salvador Pavilion you'll find all the information you need about the history of the hospital and the architect.
  • Discover the Administration Pavilion where you can admire incredible mosaics characteristic of modernist art.

Step by Step

With your ticket you can enjoy a visit to Barcelona's Sant Pau Modernista, the largest Modernista complex in the world, which houses 12 pavilions where you can find recreations, information and works about how medicine was practised in Barcelona in the past.

Visit the Sala Hipóstila, which in ancient times was the hospital's emergency room, and the Sant Salvador Pavilion, where you can learn all about the history of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau and Lluís Domènech i Montaner.

Walk through the beautiful gardens of the Sant Pau and discover the influence of nature on Catalan Art Nouveau art and the healing of the sick.

The Operations House and the Sant Rafael Pavilion are an essential stop on your visit. Here you can find out what life was like for the sick in the last century and what medical practices were used.

You can take a tour of the tunnels that connect the pavilions and which in the past were used as a means of transport for the staff.

Get your camera ready because you're sure to want to take lots of photos in the Administration Pavilion, one of Sant Pau's most outstanding buildings for the architecture of its rooms, its colours, sculptures and mosaics.

    It was a self-guided tour, I would have preferred a person. I enjoyed the tour as much as my husband did.
