Hotel España 4*
Sirenas room
Sant Pau, 9-11

Hotel España 4* is located on Calle Sant Pau, right in the historical heart of Barcelona, next to the Ramblas, the Gran Teatre del Liceu, La Boquería market... and many other places of interest, which make Barcelona one of Europe's most cosmopolitan cities.

Hotel España, considered a little jewel of Catalonian Modernism, was originally opened in 1859 with the name of Fonda de España and then went on to be refurbished by the celebrated Modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner, in the early 20th Century, with the collaboration of Eusebi Arnau and Ramón Casas.

Next to the Hotel, las Ramblas, which run from Plaza Cataluña to the sea. Walking along this avenue full of colour will be an unforgettable stroll past flower kiosks, press kiosks, street artists and a hive of activity, which goes on from the small hours of the morning to well into the night.


How to arrive?

Hotel España is located only five minutes' walk from Plaza de Cataluña, the nerve centre of Barcelona.

Cultural visit: Visit to the Hospital de Sant Pau

Friday 27th June 2014
17.00h

Carrer de Sant Quintí, 89
08026 Barcelona

(Private bus from the Palau Macaya, conference venue, to the Hospital de Sant Pau)

   

The old Hospital Santa Creu i Sant Pau is a reference modernist building designed by architect Lluis Domenech i Montaner, who was listed as Historic Artistic Monument in 1978 and World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. With more than six centuries of history, the Hospital Sant Pau is the largest exhibition Modernist and one of Europe's oldest hospital institutions.

The Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau was the result of the merge of six hospitals in the city of Barcelona in 1401. The hospital was located, at the very beginning, in the Raval District, and it was a perfect example of Catalan Civil Gothic architecture.

Half a century later, in the late nineties, it was decided to construct a new building because the old one became too small compared to population growth and medical progress. Lluis Domènec i Muntaner was asked to design it and, thanks to the bequest of the Catalan banker Pau Gil, on 15 January 1902, the first stone of the new hospital was laid.
