Ceràmica i mosaics de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Ceramic and mosaic decorations at Hospital de Sant Pau in El Guinardó, Barcelona, Spain
The ceramic works cover pavilion roofs with tiles and scaled patterns, while mosaics adorn the administration building's walls, floors, ceilings, and columns.
The ceramics and mosaics were created between 1907 and 1911, with Mario Maragliano leading the mosaic design during the hospital's construction phase.
Sixteen mosaic panels on the administration building's exterior narrate the hospital's foundation story, combining artistic expression with historical documentation.
The patient pavilions feature complete ceramic coverage for hygiene purposes, with plain colored tiles interspersed with floral patterns.
Underground tunnels connecting treatment pavilions display ceramic decorations that maintain their original appearance despite continuous use until 2009.
