Hospital Evangèlic, with 116 beds and an outpatient service, has been delivering health services for 140 years, making it one of the oldest hospitals in Barcelona.

Cultural heritage

Hospitals were run by the Catholic religious orders during the late 19th century, who did not look kindly on evangelical patients. A large house was refurbished for these in 1893, fitted out as an evangelical infirmary. Despite everything, this was not enough and in 1904, building work began on the hospital, which had to be extended in 1959.
It became the Hospital de las Colonias Extranjeras during the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. The hospital was administered by the consuls of the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and the United States. It became a Red Cross provisional hospital, a hospital for refugee children and a food donation centre.
