Hospital de san Pablo
Posted by Paco Díaz (Palma de Mallorca, Spain) on 18 November 2008 in Architecture.
Uno de los pabellones del Hospital de la santa Cruz y san Pablo (Barcelona), que es el conjunto arquitectónico más impresionante del modernismo catalán. El proyecto lo realizó el arquitecto Lluís Domènech i Muntaner (1850-1923). Junto con el Palau de la Música Catalana fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1997.

Sans farce? un hôpital? j'aurais jamais cru, comme Marie a si bient dit 'presque envie d'êre malade'...j'aimerais voir ce qu'une église aurait l'air dans ce village...

I didn't think this was a Hospital when I first saw it open on my screen. I thought it was going to be some sort of house of worship. Beautiful details.

There is so much interesting architecture in this area, a visit is worth it just to see it!

Precioso este pabellon de extracciones, me gusta mucho, especialmente el colorido rojizo de los ladrillos.
