So much history here and some beautiful buildings inside and out. Take a guided tour. Very close to Sagrada Familia and an essential part of Barcelona history. Very photographable. We thoroughly enjoyed.
If you are visiting Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, do include a trip to this place as it gives you a different take on the Art Nouveu by a different Architect. It also is more relaxing as lesser tourist visit this place but the main building is just as beautiful as other attractions in Barcelona. They also have a guided tour which I think is better since they could explain the history and works done on this place. Gives you a better understanding of the artist and his works.
On our recent trip to Spain to visit my husband's family, his cousin told us they wanted to take us to a place 5 minutes from their home that had "Modern Art" as translated form Catalan to English for me by my Hubby. I groaned inside, because I HATE modern art... I am a history buff and I LOVE old things. I decided not to complain, to be open minded, and to experience something with my husband's family that they were excited about showing us. Boy am I glad I did! This place was amazing! We took a tour in Catalan, and my hubby translated the pertinent info to me, but I was so busy snapping photos, that he let me wander off to ooh and aah to my hearts content. These photos are ones I snapped with my iphone to post on social media. The buildings are so gorgeous. Everything was meticulously restored. I love the idea behind this place... Built in the early 20th century by a man who said it had to be free to all people. The thought behind the lovely spaces was that in order to promote better healing, people needed a beautiful environment no matter their economic status. Do yourself a favor and go check this place out. The staff is very friendly, and they do tours in many languages. There was no line like the 5 hour wait at Sagrade Familia. It is straight down the street from there and the cathedral can be seen from the hospital.
Because its a hospital building, I first avoid this building. I went past this building two times by the hop on hop off tour bus. Because of the external beauty, finally I decided to pop in and have a look. Tickets costs 14 euros with a guide, small group of people taken inside and explore the marvellous building. (Without guide 8 euros, but better take guided tour, it's really worth to explore this building). Inside every angle beautifully crafted. Well designed, amazing stained glass panels, really I can't beleive this is a hospital building! May be not mentioned as a hospital, most people will visit here! A hidden gem!!
这是巴赛隆纳参观人潮比较少的重要景点,也是联合国的文化遗产保謢景点。保留了加泰隆尼亚文化艺术的精髓,值得花两个小时去慢慢的欣赏!
圣保罗医院是蒙塔内尔设计的加泰隆现代主义建筑的一个很棒的代表,它现在是联合国教科文组织的一个保护遗址。这个大楼里外都很漂亮,并且至今都还在使用!那里还有一些很便宜的场所观光团,就在这个地方就能买到票。这些观光团会带你去不会像大众开放的房间,还会给你讲很多关于医院的历史、设计和它的周边环境以及这座医院大楼是怎么影响它的周边环境的,还有就是巴塞罗那在医学领域方面的情况。真的很值得去看看!
从任何角度看都更像教堂而不是功能性的医院,比如喷泉,十字架。虽然游客络绎不绝,但是要注意医院仍然在使用,因此不要阻碍工作人员工作。圣家堂能从教堂里直接看到,只有5分钟的步行距离。
I have been to the city at least once a year for the last 8 years, so I had seen all the "top" sights and was not expecting such a spectacular visit! It has only been open after renovation for a relatively short time, but the vast site with so many stunning old buildings that were hospital wards in the days when this area was outside the city walls, is really worth a visit. The English speaking guide was entertaining and very informative, not just about the site, but about the history and other Barcelona-related topics. You will not see anything like this site anywhere else in the world, it really is not to be missed.There is a fair amount of walking, much of it outside between the buildings.
非常漂亮的暗红色建筑,从外观看来绝对不会认为是医院,大十字架非常醒目。有些会被错认为是东正教教堂。上次去的时候部分正在整修中,所以不能入内参观,现在应该重建整修结束了,有机会应该再去看看。
