Sant Pau Art Nouveau site & Labyrinth park tour

The district of Horta-Guinardó has its own character mainly due to the Vila d’Horta, an independent town until 1904. Its main activities, farming and laundry, defined the landscape of the district until it was joined to Barcelona and extended during the Olympic Games.

What to expect

The architect Lluís Domènech i Muntaner built a new hospital for the fast growing Barcelona. It was designed in 1902 and inaugurated in 1930. It is an astonishing Art Nouveau site with pavilions connected by underground passages. Declared World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, in 2009 the hospital facilities moved to new premises and, after a thorough restoration, the Modernista complex is now an international centre for knowledge and a new cultural landmark.

Originally a private garden, it was designed in 1792 to become an example of artistic gardening. It is full of romantic and neo-classical details, with flower beds, small squares, tall trees and a waterfall. The most outstanding element is the labyrinth, created from pollarded cypress trees.

It is an example on how the Olympic Games were integrated in the city of Barcelona. This neigboorhood has several Olympic sport equipments still used nowadays and the journalists’ residences were converted into households. There are also outstanding contemporary sculptures like the “Mistos”, the giant matchbox by Claes Oldenburg.

This neighborhood has maintained the character of a town, as it was independent from Barcelona until 1904. We will visit the plaça Eivissa, the central meeting point in Horta, historical cafes and the local market.
