X-ray machine, Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain

X-ray apparatus with fluoroscopic screen and a vertically moveable arm, made by Ropiquet, Hazart and Roycourt, Paris, Amiens, c. 1920, in the Pavillon San Rafael, built 1914-18, with 28 iron beds by Josep Perpina, used for non-infectious diseases of the digestive tract, built with the legacy of Rafael Rabell and his daughter Concepcio, at the Hospital de Sant Pau, or Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, built 1902-30, designed by Catalan Modernist architect Lluis Domenech i Montaner, 1850-1923, in El Guinardo, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The original medieval hospital of 1401 was replaced with this complex in the 20th century thanks to capital provided in the will of Pau Gil. The hospital consists of 27 pavilions surrounded by gardens and linked by tunnels, using the Modernist Art Nouveau style with great attention to detail. On the death of the architect, his son Pere Domenech i Roura took over the project. The complex was listed in 1997 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
