Hospital San Pau on Carrer de\Sant Antoni Maria Claret. Breathtaking restoration of an old and magnificent medical complex. Now another World Heritage Site. Not sure why Rick didn't highlight it in his otherwise comprehensive book on Barcelona.

Thank you for the post! I will be in Barcelona for a day. Will ask our guide if this site can be added on. If it cannot be added on, I will add Hospital San Pau to my bucket list for Barcelona.
Adios!

Are there tours or info in English? I found a mention of tours on Wikipedia but couldn't find anything on the website.

If you find the website to be in another language, look up at the top right corner above the tabs & click "English." The link www.santpau.es does contain information on visits. Again, if it is in another language, look to the top right of the page for another language.
