Casa Convalescència is one of the buildings located within the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau grounds and constitutes one of the later works of Catalonian Modernism. Its construction was directed by Pere Domènech i Roura, son of Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Pere Domènech collaborated with his father and substituted for him in overseeing the completion the unfinished pavilions (or uninitiated ones, as is the case with Casa Convalescència).
Although at the outset of the project, Lluís Domènech i Montaner planned to construct a building for general hospital services, maintenance shops and laundry, in the end, the Casa Convalescència pavilion was used to host patients with terminal illnesses as well as a church.

  

In 1969, the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona was granted the rights to use the building to carry out various academic activities, an occasion which consolidated the presence of this university in the city of Barcelona.
