The building is one of the oldest constructions in the Nou Barris neighborhood of Barcelona and currently is home to the headquarters of the district. The original construction was planned by Dr. Emili Pi i Molist and by the architect Josep Oriol Bernadet (1811-1860) and is one of the most brilliant examples of hospital architecture from that time.
Designed between 1855 and 1860, its construction started in 1886 and finished only in 1915. The priority of the interior design project was respecting the architectural patrimony of this emblematic building.
