University of Milan

On May 16, Daniel Tulloch, assistant at Hospital de St Saver, delivered the lecture “The Hospital de St Saver Project: Re-thinking a Space of Assistance in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona” during the international symposium “Els Abrils de l’Hospital” held at the University of Milan.

Organised by the Research Institute on Medieval Cultures of the University of Barcelona (IRCUM), the symposium, titlted “Ospedali e Innovazione”, brought together experts from across Europe to explore a wide range of topics related to the history and evolution of hospitals from the 15th century until today.

The lecture presented the recent recovery of the Hospital de St Saver in Barcelona and its new function as an exhibition space for an art collection. This initiative is borne out of the commitment from the Casacuberta Marsans Collection to preserving Barcelona’s cultural heritage. It also further develops the collection’s goal to produce and share knowledge on this historic building with a wider audience.
