Palau de la Música and Hospital de Sant Pau: The Domènech i Montaner Entrance

A combined ticket for the two major buildings by Lluís Domènech i Montaner in Barcelona. Visiting them on the same day works like a monograph: the same architect solving two commissions that are completely different. Palau de la Música Catalana A concert hall declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, where the acoustics and stained glass work together. Here, the challenge was to make a space sound good and, at the same time, fill it with colored light. Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau An old hospital complex with mosaics and sculptures spread throughout the pavilions. Here, the challenge was different: to house patients, and to do so in a place where people would want to be. The comparison between the two is what makes this ticket interesting, more so than either of them individually. It can be cancelled up to the deadline indicated.
