Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau

The Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau is like stepping into a time machine that takes you to the golden age of Catalan modernism. This former hospital, designed by the brilliant Lluís Domènech i Montaner, is a breathtaking complex of buildings adorned with colorful mosaics, intricate sculptures, and lush gardens. It's hard to believe it was once a place for treating illnesses because it's more reminiscent of a palace or a grand art gallery.

Plan to spend about two hours wandering through the pavilions, each more stunning than the last. The guided tours are a must, offering fascinating insights into the history and architecture of the site. You'll learn how Sant Pau wasn't just a hospital but a utopian vision of healthcare where beauty and functionality went hand in hand.

It's family-friendly, though kids might be more excited about the expansive gardens than the architectural details. But who can blame them? Running around in such a beautiful setting is a treat in itself.
