I visited this shortly before covid started and I loved it. It was such a beautiful place and I enjoyed seeing what the hospital looked like so long ago vs today. The architecture is so stunning. more »

What an amazing surprise! We decided last minute to visit the Recinte Modernista, and I'm so glad we did. It's a wonderful place with beautiful buildings and gardens, built out of love and dedication for fellow humans. I highly recommend the audioguide, which tells you a little about the history of this former hospital. I absolutely loved it :)
