Overview
Sant Pau is one of Europe’s largest Art Nouveau complexes and not to be missed when you’re visiting Barcelona.
There’s plenty to explore here – striking buildings, manicured gardens, and permanent exhibitions. Take a self-guided tour and learn about the sights as you pass them. You'll be provided with a handy map to help guide you around the stunning site.
This complex celebrates architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner's most important work and, on this tour, you’ll journey through the history of the urban development and explore this renovated complex of 12 buildings. Aside from the architecture, there’s everything from underground tunnels, mosaics, and exhibitions to keep you busy for hours.

Step back in time and see a recreated hospital ward from the 1920s. You’ll learn how the hospital was run in its early days, as well as get an insight into Barcelona of the past.

Pretty good overall, yet somewhat disappointing
The Go City pass did enable me to access the most spectacular and iconic attractions in Barcelona. The most disappointing was the moment when I wanted to access Casa Vicens after 6:00 pm and I was told that the ticket office was closed and they would not be able to issue me a ticket and it was impossible to enter Casa without one. I had no more chances to go there. I feel that I overspent the money and that buying individual tickets would have cost me less.
liked it
lolobee ·good and would recommend as i like independent exploration rather than tours
Nice outdoor buildings
Marc ·Very nice outdoor environments and outside buildings. As for the inside, the main building and the operation room stood out for us. Worth it if you're in the area.
Recinte Modernista
Eliza ·We loved the beautiful buildings with so much decoration and the lovely park where you could sit and admire the space. But the best part of the tour was the medical equipment from olden times such as ancient X ray machine or bp reader.
Schöne Gebäude, ein Besuch wert
Tami ·Ein wirklich beeindruckender Ort! Die historischen Gebäude sind sehr schön erhalten und vermitteln eine besondere Atmosphäre. Die Informationstafeln sind interessant und erklären die Geschichte des ehemaligen Krankenhauses anschaulich und verständlich. Ein Besuch lohnt sich auf jeden Fall für alle, die sich für Geschichte und außergewöhnliche Orte interessieren.
