Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site: Skip The Line | Sant Pau Hospital

In the early twentieth century, the innovative architect took the name Domènech i Montaner, who conceptualized an avant-garde design. No longer was there a hospital established in an old medieval one, but he founded this modern medical facility to provide the highest standard of treatment in the architectural beauty with which he would encircle it. Such concepts were revolutionary in those days and are really pioneering even now.

As well as 16 pavilions, this wonderful hospital had an underground tunnel iz in which visitors could walk and admire the truly unique style given by bright mosaics, vivid tiled roofs, slightly arching lines, and curls and folds, all characteristics of Catalan Modernisme. The courtyards, gardens, and trees show Montaner's assertion that nature will heal patients more efficiently than any conventional antiseptic condition. It is a masterpiece to invite you rather than frighten you.

From here, walk to the most beautiful gardens to surround the pavilions and meet an oasis of calm amid the busy city. These green spaces are not only ornamentalist but also reveal the faith of Domènech i Montaner in the healing power of nature. Whether they are architecture lovers or just curious about a different culture, the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau remains a lifelong experience.
