Relief, Administration Pavilion, Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain

Relief of St George killing the dragon and statues of heralds atop spiral columns with floral capitals, and the coat of arms of Catalonia, by Pau Gargallo, 1881-1934, 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. Behind are doors with stained glass by Rigalt Granell & Cia and a view to La Sagrada Familia, designed by Antoni Gaudi. 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
