Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, is a modernist complex designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner (see my April post: Gargoyles).
The access pavilion at the intersection of carrer Sant Antoni Maria Claret and carrer Cartagena is covered with exposed brickwork, and features a tower clock on top.
Inside you can admire the excellent stained glass by Mario Maragliano, a richly wrought staircase and these purple ceilings, that recall Islamic architecture.
From all the amazing things I discovered inside (when I carry my camera I am much more aware of minor details around me) I prefer this precious lamp.

I love that rich rose colour on the ceiling...
ReplyDeleteThanks, I appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the dove :-) Is this actually in a Hospital?
ReplyDeleteYes marieta it is and it is in use, but services are being moved slowly to a new hospital right behind, aiming at the protection of old buildings.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. When I first saw it I thought the photo was inverted because the bricks look like the floor. Good shot.
