THE MODERNIST JEWELS. 4hours.

This is a walking tour to discover the two most important modernist buildings in Barcelona: Hospital Sant Pau designed by Lluis Domènech i Montaner and Sagrada Familia designed by Antoni Gaudí.

Did you know that Domènech i Montaner was Gaudi’s professor?

We will start this private tour by visiting the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (the Hospital of the Holy Cross and Saint Paul)

The Hospital de Sant Pau is the largest Art Nouveau precinct in the world and the only hospital that has been a World Heritage site by UNESCO. It was built between 1902 and 1930.

Next, we will walk to La Sagrada Familia, which is a temple of light. Get ready to immerse yourself in the majestic symphony of colours of the stained-glass windows and stroll among tree-shaped columns.

The project of the architect Domènech i Montaner was to build a garden city for the sick, to make the Hospital de Sant Pau like a little city within Barcelona, where the patients could be surrounded by gardens and enjoy the beneficial therapeutic effects of the contemplation of nature. A perfect place to recover, with spacious and well-ventilated rooms.The hospital Sant Pau looks like a palace, but it was a hospital for poor people, a charity hospital. Domènech i Montaner believed in the therapeutic power of beauty, and everybody should be touched by this power. Beauty heals!  Can you imagine recovering in a place like this?With your private guide, you will tour the administrative building and wards where Domènech i Montaner worked with a team of craftsmen (glaziers, sculptors, ceramists…) and you will be stunned by its beauty. You will explore the innovative hygienic-architectural solutions that Domènech i Montaner applied, and your licensed tour guide will explain to you the history of this institution. Sant Pau was a landmark in hospital construction at the beginning of the 20th century.La Sagrada Familia is a natural landscape made of stone. On this tour, your private guide will tell you all about the history of this project, its symbolism, and its revolutionary architectural solutions. They will share with you some little-known anecdotes about its charismatic creator. Explore Hospital Sant Pau & La Sagrada Familia with a Barcelona-licensed tour guide to discover all the innovative solutions of these architectural gems. These two buildings are connected by a lovely pedestrian avenue
