Of all the great buildings in Barcelona, I would say this is one of my favourites. It lies just up the road from La Sagrada Familia, & is no less monumentally eccentric. Actually it's many buildings - part Gothic cathedral, part Teutonic fortress, part sultan's palace, its roofline is a riot of spires, beehive water towers & gaudily tiled domes,... More

This is an amazing collection of buildings that Barcelona is doing it's best to preserve and update in order to keep them alive and in use. There is extensive renovation going on so do take the 'hard hat' tour to see the inner workings of the site. You'll get to access the underground tunnel system and wander around in ways... More

We got off the Metro at the Sagrada Familia stop, then walked up Avenue Gaudi to the Hospital. It's a 15-20 minute walk that leads directly to the main entrance. The historic buildings are currently being restored so the office is housed in a temporary structure. After a long hike through the property, we found a security guard who directed... More

We had a hard time finding where to go in. We took the metro walked up the hill and turned right. You need to turn left and look for the break in the fence to the left after the chapel. There is a small white trailer which house the tour desk. If you go more towards the right you will... More

Currently in the midst of a major renovation, most of the buildings were closed although we could have gone on an escorted tour with hard hats for 10 euros each. We decided to go for a wander on our own and spent an hour or so in the grounds of the hospital which must have been quitre a place in... More

On our last trip to Barcelona we followed much of the " Modernisme Route" and visited some of the buildings we had not already seen. I had not heard of the Hospital before, but reading about it in the Modernisme Route guidebook, I was keen to visit it. We took the metro to it, but you come out on the... More
