Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site Guided Tour

Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site Guided Tour

Our guided tour of the Sant Pau Modernista Complex will begin opposite the entrance to the site, located at 167 Sant Antoni Maria Claret Street.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the architect Pere Domènech i Roura designed the so-called Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, made up of different pavilions. This large sanitary complex gave way to a much more modern center, but the old enclosure remains one of the crown jewels of Catalan modernism. During our visit, we will visit different enclaves of this great architectural work, declared a World Heritage Site.

To have a better understanding of the decision to erect the Sant Pau complex, we will visit one of the most unique spaces on the site: the Sant Salvador Pavilion, which houses an exhibition on the history of medicine. The building also hosts an interesting exhibition on Catalan modernist architecture, the main characteristics of which are embodied in this great work.

After visiting other outstanding pavilions of the enclosure, we will finish the tour by visiting the gardens of Sant Pau, also designed with the unmistakable stamp of modernism.
