Sant Pau Hospital Barcelona Highlights
Hypostyle Hall
The tour begins in the hypostyle hall, or columned hall, which was once home to the Hospital's emergency department. The Hypostyle Hall is located in the Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau's modernist campus in Barcelona. It began as a distribution center, providing access to the underground galleries that connected the various pavilions and, if necessary, allowing carriages to enter and exit the complex. It was turned into an emergency department in the 1990s.
Sant Salvador Pavilion
Sant Pau's new exhibition space is housed in the Sant Salvador Pavilion, the latest building to be renovated at the Art Nouveau Site. The two floors of the structure are utilized to separate the languages explaining two primary themes: the history of the Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau since its founding in 1401 and a tribute to its architect, Llus Domènech I Montaner. The historical rhythm of a journey through history is followed by the layout of the bottom floor. In the form of an innovative installation, the building's upper floor focuses specifically on the figure and work of Llus Domènech I Montaner.
Gardens
The Gardens at Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona is a delight for all visitors. The garden areas and pavilions are complemented with outdoor places that are seen as a garden city. The location of the garden is also important, which is referred to as sakkei in Japanese (meaning "framed"). Because of its semi-abandoned status, the Pavelló de la Purisima, which has yet to be renovated, is the ideal location for the gardens.
Operations House
It was constructed between 1902 and 1912 to house the Hospital's operating rooms. The three apses that held the operating theater, with north-facing glass walls and roofs to guarantee maximum daylight, are particularly noteworthy. Underground corridors connect the building to the remainder of the pavilions. It is possibly one of the most historically important parts of Sant Pau Hospital.
Sant Rafael Pavilion
In the Sant Rafael Pavilion, which has been converted into a 1920s patients ward, the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site has a historical recreation space. The Sant Rafael Pavilion is a recreation of a 1920s ward, complete with ten beds, period radiators, a Sant Rafael altar, and a day room where patients received visits. All of these features are explained in detail in the proposal's structure, which contains information panels.
Administration Pavilion
The Administration Pavilion's interior, designed by architect Llus Domènech I Montaner, is lavishly furnished with a variety of ornamental materials, particularly ceramics. The vaulted ceilings are the most remarkable aspect of the rooms, and they have been well conserved, in contrast to some of the linings, particularly the floorings, which have deteriorated or vanished. The project's primary goal was to adapt the structure so that it may be utilized for purposes other than those for which it was created without losing its original character.
Els Llums de Sant Pau
Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau in Barcelona will open its doors every evening from November 22nd to January 9th, 2022, under the tagline "as twilight falls, the magic begins" Because Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau will be turned for the first time this winter into Els Llums de Sant Pau – an illuminated fairy-tale scenario with Christmassy light plays, masterfully staged architecture, and imaginative illuminations – the sensation is right. Families, friends, and couples can spend a romantic and pleasurable evening on a 1-kilometer long walk. Millions of light points transform the world-famous UNESCO World Heritage monument into a magnificent blaze of lights throughout the dark season.
