Galleried chapel with relief of the coat of arms of the Santa Creu and Sant Pau hospitals, by Pau Gargallo, 1881-1934, stone carved inscriptions on the balustrade and ceramic mosaics, in the Domenech i Montaner Room, in the Administration Pavilion, built 1905-10, 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.
