Cuidar, Innovar, Avançar. 625 anys de l’Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau

The Biblioteca de Catalunya opens the exhibition "Cuidar, Innovar, Avançar. 625 anys de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau", curated by historian and archivist Reis Fontanals. The exhibition traces the history of the Hospital through the medical advances applied within it and the professionals who worked there, who made it the true backbone of healthcare and medical training in Catalonia for more than six centuries. The exhibition has been produced in collaboration with the Hospital de Sant Pau and forms part of the commemoration of the institution's 625th anniversary. The Hospital de la Santa Creu was founded in 1401 as a major healthcare centre for the city of Barcelona, located in the Gothic building that is now the seat of the Biblioteca de Catalunya. From then until today, across the various buildings that have housed it, the history of the Hospital is the history of the constant adaptation of medicine to the scientific, social and human challenges of each era.
