Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site
About
This modernista hospital complex is a garden city of ornate brick pavilions, mosaics and underground passages. It gets a fraction of the crowds of other Art Nouveau sights and makes a calm counterpoint to the busy centre.
Why visit
- Astonishing ceilings and tilework without the queues
- Quiet gardens between pavilions
- Right at the end of Avinguda Gaudí, in line with Sagrada Família
Good to know
- Allow time to walk between the pavilions
- Combine it with Sagrada Família, which is a 10-minute stroll
- Shorter hours on Sundays
