The presentHospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau(CatalanforHospital of the Holy Cross and Saint Paul) in theGuinardó,Barcelona,Catalonia,is a complex built between 1901 and 1930, designed by the CatalanarchitectLluís Domènech i Montaner.Together withPalau de la Música Catalana,it is a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site.Today it is still a fully functional hospital. There have been discussions to convert this building to a museum sometime in the future.
Although the hospital's current buildings date from the 20th century, the Hospital de Sant Pau 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) andBiblioteca de Catalunya(National Library of Catalonia).
In 1991 was awarded with the "Creu de Sant Jordi" by theGeneralitat de Catalunya.
Since 2003 a new hospital building is placed to the north of the Domènech i Montaner modernist pavilions.
