History
Lying on the block delimited by the streets of Diego de León, Conde de Peñalver, Maldonado and General Díaz Porlier,[1] it was a project of Manuel Martínez Chumillas, who had been involved with the GATEPAC group during the Second Republic.[2] Intending to replace the old Hospital de la Princesa built in the Paseo de Areneros (calle de Alberto Aguilera), it was inaugurated on 3 November 1955 under the name of Gran Hospital de la Beneficencia General del Estado.[1] The building works lasted however until 1956.[3] The hospital forms a 14-floor building complex.[4] Starting from 100 at the time of its opening, the effective bed usage steadily grew, reaching 761 beds in 1959.[1]
It was transferred from the State Administration to the regional administration of the Community of Madrid in 1985.[1] It was finally renamed as Hospital Universitario de la Princesa in 1994.[1] As of 2020 it has a capacity of 564 beds.[5]
