The former Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in the neighborhood of El Guinardó, Barcelona, is a complex built between 1901 and 1930. It is one of the most prominent works of the Catalan modernisme architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Together with Palau de la Música Catalana, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Composed of 12 pavilions connected through long underground galleries within its large green space, Sant Pau is the largest complex built in Art Nouveau style. It was a fully functioning hospital until June 2009, when the new hospital opened next to it. It underwent restoration for use as a museum and cultural center, and re-opened in 2014.
