    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 »

    I think that 99% of tourists like me believe that the hospital is named after St. Paul, like many hospitals that have existed since the middle ages. Yes, in honor of Paul, but not that Paul. Catalan.....  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 :)
