In this exhibition, plans and details of some of the more than 240 hospitals around the world that Domènech i Montaner studied before designing the Santa Creu and Sant Pau hospitals, at the beginning of the 20th century, will be reproduced.

In addition to tracing the evolution of hospital architecture up to the moment, as well as the hospitals around the world that he cites as reference, it can be seen that Domènech does not limit himself to adopting a “typical” hospital typology from among the already consolidated at the time, but only takes them as a starting point to arrive at the best possible design while adapting the latest innovations to configure a coherent set of great beauty that does not detract from its functionality.

This sample is included in the tour itinerary.
