興建於1901年至1930年間，由加泰隆尼亞現代主義建築師路易·多梅內克·蒙塔內爾（Lluís Domènech i Montaner）設計的聖十字聖保羅醫院是我們在巴塞羅納參觀的第一個旅遊景點。聖保羅醫院是巴塞羅納聖十字醫院之一，這在二十世紀建立的新院區，以出資的銀行家Pau Gil命名。這是世界文化遺產之一，直至2009年6月才結束它醫院的角色。經過四年的整修，如今是博物館及文化中心，部分建築亦出租給國際非營利組織。
Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (English: Hospital of the Holy Cross and Saint Paul) was the first tourist place that we have visited in Barcelona. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built between 1901 and 1930, and designed by Catalan modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It’s one of the Hospital of the Holy Cross in Barcelona and Saint Paul was added in honour of the banker, Pau Gil, who paid the new buildings in the 20th century. Until June 2009, it was a fully funcitioning hospital. After restoration for 4 years, it’s open again to public as a museum and cultural center.
接近聖保羅醫院的門口，我們就被它的風采深深吸引了。
Coming closer to the entrance, we’re attracted immediately by it’s design.

入門票。
Tickets for guided tour at 13pm.
院區模型，一看就知道是很有特色的建築群。
這醫院建在巴塞羅納舊城外，除了醫療用途，也作客棧之用。以前入夜後，城門關閉，無法及時入城的人們可以到這裡過夜休息。
參觀後才知道，這些建築的地下有通道跟主建築相連，病人就從地下道送到後方的病房和手術室。
All buildings are connected with a central underground path so that the patients could be transfered from one to another building easily.
導覽開始，我們的英語講解員是位熱情的加泰隆尼亞女生Carmie.

這就是地下通道，方便把病人轉移到院內的其他部門。
This’s the undergound path.
病房。
Patients’ hall.
病房內都貼上彩色瓷磚，不只是因為當代流行的瓷磚建築藝術，主要目的還是容易消毒及保持衛生。為了讓病人在歡愉的環境下能早日康復，採用的顏色和圖騰都接近大自然。
The ceramic tiles have been used for all indoor surfaces in the hospital. It’s not only because mosaic was the popular architecture design, but also because it’s the easiest way to keep the hygience status at that moment.

每棟建築都有這圓頂的部分，其實這是讓病人享受日光浴的空間。
Every building has such a part with round roof. Actually this’s a indoor space for the patients to enjoy a sunbathing.
跟著Carmie回到主建築的一樓大堂。

從影子就能分辨出它們的差別，影子粗糙的是水晶玻璃，平滑的是一般玻璃。
We can separate the glasses by looking to their shadows. The smooth one is normal glass and the rough one is crystal glass.

來看看這些建築的通風系統，使用的是熱空氣上升的原理。熱空氣從屋頂的囪口排出，就會把冷空氣從地下層和照片上的圓孔引出，讓室內下降，空氣流通。
