Escultura de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, Modernist sculpture at Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, El Guinardó, Spain.
The sculpture features intricate stone carvings adorning the main administration building, depicting figures from Catalan medical history and religious symbolism.
Created between 1905 and 1930, the sculpture collection was crafted by artists Eusebi Arnau and Pau Gargallo under architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner's direction.
