"This 27-pavilion complex suffers from sitting behind La Sagrada Família, which inevitably steals some of its thunder. But this work of modernisme is not to be missed. The former hospital was designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, who died seven years before it was finished in 1930. He believed in the healing power of beauty so he decked the grounds with stained glass, ornate façades, allegorical statues and all the other proper touches of modernisme. Indeed, if Gaudí’s works celebrate the style, this is its carnival. It was awarded Unesco World Heritage status in 1997."
