Tip from tour guide
Hotel Peninsular places you closer to one of the historic gems of Barcelona, the Old Hospital de la Santa Creu. It was established in 1401 when the Council of Barcelona decided to merge and centralize six hospitals. By the end of the 19th century, the hospital had become outdated due to the city's growth and advances in medicine and hygiene. Consequently, it was relocated to a new site, where the Hospital de Sant Pau was constructed between 1902 and 1930. Interestingly, a month before the hospital's closure in 1926, Antoni Gaudí died here three days after being hit by a tram.
