Overview
With your prepaid admission voucher in hand, arrive at Sant Pau, located on Sant Antoni Maria Claret in central Barcelona. Buying your ticket ahead of time guarantees you admission to one of Barcelona's popular attractions.
Begin your self-guided tour at the Administration Pavilion anytime during the facility's opening hours. Wander around the exhibition space, where you can learn about the facility's contribution to medicine and its artistic heritage through an interactive touch table and a video presentation. Explore the network of underground tunnels, which wind their way to the building's collection of pavilions and out into the gardens. Check out the architectural details of the building's exterior, such as stained glass, sculptures, and domes.
Head to the restored Sant Rafael Pavilion and the old Surgery Room, then to the Lluís Domènech i Montaner Room, the Pau Gil Room, and the Main Hall. End up at the Sant Jordi Pavilion, host to the series of rotating temporary exhibitions.

Never visited a hospital on any of our vacations - this one is a true experience
Jennifer B, Apr 2026
Much much much better than expected_ a must see and experience when in Barcelona! The story and history behind this site is truly one of a kind! We were two couples and followed the audio tour - extremely informative and easy!

Unmissable jewel of modernist architecture and Unesco World Heritage
DeGustibus67, Mar 2026
This complex (Unesco World Heritage Site since 1997), designed by Lluis Domènech i Montaner and built between 1902 and 1930, was the site of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau from 1916 to 2009 and is considered an absolute masterpiece of modernist architecture. Along the way you will visit the gardens, the tunnel, the operating block (with surgical instruments of the past), the Sala Ipostila old hospital pavilions (many have undergone modifications) such as the Padiglion Sant Salvador, Sant Rafael, del Carme and Administration. Today some pavilions (not open to visitors) are often used by associations of great social importance as study/work spaces for cultural and sustainability activities. The visit is absolutely recommended, because it is one of the most interesting and original attractions that do not belong to the world of Gaudi. Please note: for Barcelona Card holders 20% discount.
Beautiful restored structures
