Monument in Barcelona
Hospital de Sant Pau
The Hospital de Sant Pau is a UNESCO-listed Modernista complex by Lluis Domenech i Montaner, one block north of the Sagrada Familia. Entry is paid. The 12 pavilions connected by underground tunnels were a working hospital until 2009 and are now a museum. The mosaics, stained glass, and ceramic decoration rival anything by Gaudi. Budget travelers pay the ticket and see the other great Modernista masterpiece of Barcelona, the one that most visitors walk past on the way to the Sagrada Familia without knowing it is there.
