Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site

Lluís Domènech i Montaner designed this hospital complex, built between 1902 and 1930, and it kept working as a hospital until 2009. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with the Palau de la Música. The brick pavilions are covered with tile, mosaic and sculpture and sit in gardens, linked by underground tunnels. The self-guided visit takes in the administration building and several restored pavilions, and part of it is outdoors.

What to look for

• The tiled hall of the administration building
• The garden pavilions with domed roofs
• The underground tunnels between pavilions
• The view down Avinguda de Gaudí toward the Sagrada Família
