Discover and walk through several distinct neighborhoods and realize that modernist architecture in Barcelona spans all areas of life from health, worship, and residential. On our Sagrada Familia and Modernist Gems of Barcelona Walking Tour, you will explore the Recinte Modernista Sant Pau, once a hospital, now the world’s largest art nouveau complex; admire beautiful homes, including Casa Mila and Casa Batlló, which embody the modernist artistic style of the city; marvel at the monumental Sagrada Familia, undisputed symbol of Barcelona.

Starting at the stunning Hospital Sant Pau, the world’s largest Art Nouveau site, you will see how architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner gave as much importance to aesthetics as functionality. Indeed, he firmly believed in the healing power of nature-inspired art and beauty, an approach found in Sant Pau’s every detail. The concept of a “beautiful hospital” is unique and thought-provoking by definition, but was even more spectacular in the context of industrial Barcelona.
Afterwards we will admire the wealth of detail of this forest-like temple, Guadi’s final work, which with its luminosity strives to crown the city with the promise of redemption. These two outstanding Modernist architects had two different architectural objectives, i.e. medical and religious, but in achieving their objectives were both guided by the highest sensitivity for nature, art, faith, religion and healing.

In the early 1900s, visionary architect Domènech I Montaner built something radical. On the site of a medieval hospital, he designed a modern hospital that would provide patients with architectural and natural beauty that would help heal their spirits. It was an unheard-of concept back then and it still feels revolutionary; explore the magnificent Art Nouveau complex that he devised.

The property comprises 16 pavilions and includes underground tunnels and a sense of style that is characterized by mosaic art, colored roof tiles, intricate arches, and fun, playful lines. There are courtyards and greenery that reflect Montaner’s conviction that flowers and trees could help patients more than a conventionally sterile environment. It’s a masterpiece, but not in the forbidding sense.

The building was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, and the hospital is now located in the northeast of the district.
