Tonight we went on a walking/metro tour of some of the 19th century architecture. We began at La Sagrada Familia which is a church, designed by Antoní Gaudi, that has been under construction for over 200 years. It was started to get dark by the time we got there so some of the pictures aren't the best.
After stopping here for a while we walked up a very beautiful diagonal street until we reached our final stop which is Hospital De La Sant Creu I Sant Pau. This hospital is the second oldest in Europe (only behind one in Paris). The hospital has about 20 seperate buildings that are connected via underground tunnels (used to trasport patients). Being inefficient in modern times a new single-building hospital has been constructed at one end and facilities are slowly being moved there. The original hospital will be closed by next summer.
