Very interesting - Route with very clear map inside the old hospital. Beautiful exterior. Very clean. Clear descriptions of the pavilions. You go back in time with the original photos found along the way. Recommended

Beautiful architecture with historical background - I was already approached by the building in advance through pictures, then seeing it live topped the whole thing again! Insane architecture and an interesting story. The terrain is huge and there is much to discover!

Surprising - Truly an incredible and exciting and unusual historical place to visit. Fascinating to wander between the pavilions of this former historic hospital that truly represents an example of art nouveau. Not to be missed, in my opinion!

Understated tourist attraction. - Quite possibly an understated location for tourists to visit. Obviously that isn’t the case noting the reviews. But it’s probably not high on the “to do” list of things to see in Barcelona. And it should be.

A Gift for the Eyes - A Jewel of Modernism. It is a complex of visually wonderful buildings to which more beautiful to enjoy them. It's close to the Holy Family.

Too bad. Sweet and bitter feeling - First of all I would like to state that the modernist precinct of Sant Pau (Barcelona) is a wonderful cultural heritage that should not be missed because it is certainly worth visiting. My criticism is not directed at the venue (which I insist is a gem) but at how the visit is organized. First of all, I found the price somewhat excessive (17 euros a general entry + 4 euros of the Audio Guide), but much more so when I saw the bad service they offer for that price. Initially there is a clear itinerary (where the directions of the venue correspond to what is heard in the Audio-Guide), but from a certain moment (it gives the Impression that you have not given them time to signal the whole route) it is no longer known what the comments of the Audio-Guide refer to because they are not explained. Suddenly there is a total confusion that the workers themselves did not know how to clear us since they do not appear on the map. Itineraries stop being marked, some rooms without warning remain closed and it is impossible to try to identify the route. It must be admitted that in the face of consultations, some employees were kind enough to acknowledge that they did not even identify the route themselves, but others took an unfriendly attitude, saying that was not their problem. In short, my criticism is aimed at indicating that (although I certainly recommend the visit to the site) the poor organization of the tour makes the final result bittersweet, despite the artistic quality that undoubtedly presents the site. In short, my criticism is directed at those in charge, already taking into account the high cost they charge visitors, at least organize an understandable and well-planned visit that allows them not to interfere in the enjoyment of such a wonderful occasion. Thank you.
