The Hospital of the Holy Cross building was part of the main hospital in Barcelona until the 20th century. But it is now not just a hospital but an important archaeological site in Barcelona and has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The building is considered a symbol of Catalan Gothic architecture and is considered one of the most important edifices of the modern era due to the splendor of its construction, its decorations, its statues, and the quality and distinctiveness of its stones. Consisting of spacious courtyards and rooms with high ceilings, which today house the Catalan library, art schools and other cultural organizations, a single tour of the place will take you back to the atmosphere of bygone eras.
