What to expect

The Sant Pau Art Nouveau complex is a unique and fascinating place to visit, especially for families interested in history, architecture, and art. This complex was built between 1905 and 1930 and designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner as a garden city for nursing the sick. It is one of the most prominent works of the Catalan modernisme architect and is considered Europe's foremost art-nouveau complex. The complex is composed of 12 pavilions connected through long underground galleries within its large green space. Visitors can explore the exhibition space in the Sant Salvador Pavilion, which takes you on a journey through the history of medicine in Barcelona, and admire the building's lovely exteriors, including domes, roofs, façades, sculptures, and stained-glass windows. The complex also offers a historical archive where records and documents of remarkable occurrences related to the hospital and the city can be found
