In English - Hospital of the Holy Cross And Saint Paul

Although the hospital's current buildings date from the 20th century, the Hospital de la Santa Creu (the last part of its name, "Sant Pau", was added in honour of the banker, Pau Gil, who paid the new buildings in the twentieth century) was founded in 1401 when six small medieval hospitals merged. The hospital's former buildings near the center of Barcelona date from the 15th century, and now house an art school (Escola Massana) and Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia). It is no longer a hospital as it was closed in 2009.

There's so much to see in Barcelona Brie it's understandable that you would miss this.

We didn't see this when we went to Barcelona - what a pity; it looks so well preserved. I am so glad the skies were blue; I know you thought the weather was going to be rainy and just look how glorious it turned out to be :o)

Thanks Ikook. Most of the old buildings are in fabulous shape.
Yes Pumpkin, what better to recycle than a building.
No BK. This is building we only saw from the bus. We only had a short time in Barcelona and had to pass this one up.
You are welcome Janet. Hope you enjoy them.
Yes, it is Warbler. Barcelona has done a good job at preserving their buildings.
