Casa Provincial de Maternitat i Expòsits de Barcelona, Former maternity hospital in Les Corts district, Barcelona, Spain.

The architectural complex consists of multiple pavilions built between 1889 and 1957, combining Catalan modernist and rationalist architectural styles.

The institution originated from an old foundling home in Ciutat Vella, relocating to Can Cavaller estate in Les Corts during 1878 due to outdated facilities.

The complex earned the FAD Award for restoration in 1983 following the complete renovation of the Ave María pavilion.

The interior grounds include public gardens connecting Travessera de Les Corts with Diagonal, featuring children's play areas and dog zones.

A wooden rotating system installed on the exterior wall, used for child abandonment between 1854 and 1931, remains visible on the facade.
