The Route
From 11 July 2011, the guided tours of the Modernista complex of Hospital Sant Pau will also include a section of the tunnels built by Domènech i Montaner that linked together the various Modernista pavilions that formed part of the hospital premises. With this new addition, the tour´s itinerary will now include the renovated Sant Jordi Pavilion, which houses an exhibition on the past, present and future of the institution, the hospital church, Sant Rafael Pavilion and a section of the aforementioned tunnels, as well as a stroll through part of the complex´s former gardens. The tours are guided and all visitors must wear a reflective helmet and vest, which are provided to each visitor at the beginning of the tour.
The starting point of the tours is the Information Centre of the Modernisme Route, next to the entrance to the Sant Jordi Pavilion - enter via Carrer Sant Antoni M. Claret, opposite Carrer Dos de Maig - where you can enjoy a free screening of the film "Modernisme and Society" (15 min).
Visitors will be advised before each tour if the itinerary is affected by any changes or the closure of any spaces because of pavilion availability or renovation work.
