Barcelona's main hospital from 1414 to 1926, built round a great Gothic cloister and one of the key works of Catalan civil Gothic. Gaudí was among its last patients and died here in 1926; the wards now hold the Biblioteca de Catalunya, the national library.

Good to know
- The central courtyard links Carrer de l'Hospital and Carrer del Carme: a quiet shortcut through the Raval
- At Corpus the courtyard fountain holds an 'ou com balla', an egg dancing on the jet
- La Capella exhibition space and the Academy of Medicine's anatomical theatre are in the same complex
