The modernist hospital
Known in the past as Hospital de Sant Pau, this station is in the historic enclosure of this hospital. The hospital’s outbuildings were scattered in one monumental architectonic ensemble which began to be built in 1902 on the grounds of the old farmhouse of Lligalbé. The project was commissioned to the architect Lluis Domènech i Montaner and, after his death in 1923, his son Pere Domènech i Roure, who had worked alongside his father took over as project director.
The second term, Dos de Maig, refers to the second of May uprising of 1808, a popular uprising against the Napoleonic troops that burst out onto the streets of Madrid and which later extended throughout the entire country, eventually triggering the War of Independence.
