Pioneering architecture, lingering memory.

The Nou Barris District Headquarters occupies the remaining pavilions of the former Institut Mental de la Santa Creu. Inaugurated in 1889 and completed in 1915, this complex—a work by Dr. Emili Pi i Molist and architect Josep Oriol i Bernadet—was a benchmark in European hospital architecture of its time. Conceived with symmetrical pavilions and landscaped courtyards, it implemented innovative therapies. Today, its walls house the district administration and the Nou Barris Library, preserving a key piece of heritage in a neighborhood with a strong working-class identity.
