The Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau was previously a hospital (Modernista Hospital de la Santa Creu i de Sant Pau). Its designer, Lluís Domènech i Montaner, believed that the wide open spaces and greenery will cheer up the patients and promote their healing. Sadly, today, the hospital has been relocated to a more functional complex.
