    The Hospital del Coll de Balaguer (as it is mentioned in medieval documents) was built to offer accommodation to religious, travelers and mendicants who traveled on the route between Barcelona and Valencia, along the route of the ancient Roman Via Augusta.
    The reasons for the foundation of the old Gothic hospital by Pere d'Aragó, since 1341 lord of the county of Prades and the barony of Entença, obey the desire to establish the foundations for repopulation and economic resurgence of the area, and through this fortified construction ensure control of a coast then exposed to frequent corsair raids.
