Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site: Guided Tour

Tour the world-renowned work of one of the best Catalan Modernist architects

On this guided tour, discover the largest architectural complex of the Modernist movement in Barcelona with your Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site guided tour tickets. Its Catalan architect, Lluis Domènech i Montaner, devised a blueprint to build a "city within the city" using a series of outdoor pavilions surrounded by gardens, all connected by a web of underground tunnels. Once used as a working hospital, this architectural jewel of Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the best examples of the Modernist movement. From its geometric symmetry and ornate ceilings to its bright bold colors and intricate tile mosaics, the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site showcases some of the best modernist styles in Europe. Your friendly local guide will help you discover and understand the building's form and function over its 600-year existence – both as a functioning hospital and as an open-air art museum – and share its secrets and anecdotes over the centuries to help you get the most out of your visit.
