History of the Building<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Convalescence House, one of the last works of Catalan Modernism, is part of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau complex, which was designed at the end of the 19th century to address the shortage of hospitals in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city’s growth and advancements in medicine had rendered the old Santa Creu hospital, founded in 1401 and located in the Gothic Quarter, obsolete. Its construction was overseen by Pere Dom\u00e8nech i Roura, who worked alongside his father, Llu\u00eds Dom\u00e8nech i Montaner, and took over the direction of the project after his father\u2019s death in 1923.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building, intended to house convalescing individuals with a maximum capacity of 100 residents, was notable for its glassed-in sunrooms. It also featured a chapel that divided the building into two wings, one for men and one for women. Casa Convalesc\u00e8ncia operated autonomously from the hospital, with its own finances, kitchen, and pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was funded with money obtained from the sale of the old Convalescence House on Carrer del Carme, which amounted to 1,750,000 pesetas at the time. In 1930, coinciding with King Alfonso XIII\u2019s visit to inaugurate the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Convalescence House opened its doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
