Visit the Hypostyle Hall, which in the past served as the hospital’s A&E department, and the Sant Salvador Pavilion, where you can learn all about the history of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau and Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
Stroll through the beautiful gardens of Sant Pau and discover the influence of nature on Catalan Modernist art and on the healing of the sick.
