Sant Pau Recinte Modernista

Eixample · power · $$

I prefer this to the Sagrada Família for one reason: it was built to be used. An actual hospital that operated until 2009.

Domènech i Montaner's hospital complex, 1901–1930. The most ambitious Modernista project in Barcelona, and the most historically honest about what it was for.
