Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
Introduction The Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau is the work of architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner and his son. This grand hospital complex consists of small buildings decorated with colorful mosaics, with 48 wards interconnected underground. Gardens and green spaces are interspersed among the buildings, creating an elegant healing environment for patients. At the top of the entrance building stands a spire, from which the entire hospital complex can be viewed. The buildings and courtyards are adorned with historical-themed mosaic artworks and sculptures by Josep Llimona. The interior staircases and ceilings feature Islamic art styles.
In 1997, the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
