Sant Manuel is one of the taller buildings at the rear of the site and was built between 1923 and 1924. It was used as General Surgery for males.
Due to the two floors there are two sets of floor to ceiling windows in the circular rooms.
The small domes surmounting the water towers – the highest part of the pavilions – are also clad in monochrome tiles that follow the same pattern.
This keeps on giving so many blog opportunities, Jude. Certainly a great place to visit.
Best wishes, Pete. x
That’s the building that really caught my eye. So the narrow tower is actually a water tower?
Apparently so, these buildings were well-considered at the time. I like this one, but my favourite is the next one, also a double storey building.
Did you camera card run out here??? You obviously find these buildings absolutely irresistible.a real gift to us.
Haha… not at all Meg. I have a 16GB card and only use Jpegs so I can get a lot of images on that. I know there are a lot of posts, but there is a lot of information too and I figured one post would be far too long. Besides each of these pavilions deserve their own post. And despite the appearances, they are all different.

I’d love to see inside the circular rooms. These buildings are just wonderful. Thanks Jude for sharing them with us.
I did get one photo of this one, but it doesn’t really give you the impression that it is circular. None of the other buildings are open to the public except the Administration, which I shall show at the end of these posts.
Another beauty!
