One of Barcelona's most beautiful sights is the Hospital de Sant Pau, one of the city's largest historical complexes.

Designed in the modernist style, the hospital building was completed in 1930 and was in operation until 2009.

Now, the complex is being transformed into a museum and center for Spanish culture.

One of the most striking features of the Hospital de Sant Pau is its gleaming dome, surrounded by golden spires.

The hospital as an organization dates back to 1401, when it was created by six smaller hospitals.

Surrounding the building are the wonderful gardens and grounds of the Sant Pau complex.

There are few hospitals in the world that have such beautiful and classic facades, making the Hospital de Sant Pau a unique place.
