It was opened on 29 February 2008. Featuring a built surface of square metres, it has 264 hospitalary beds and 11 operating rooms. It became a centre directly managed by the SERMAS in 2016. In 2017 the Hospital Virgen de la Torre became part of the organization of the Infanta Leonor from a legal standpoint. In 2019, DIF, a Dutch investment fund, acquired the whole hospital. Its medical emergency services collapsed in March 2020, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with patients lying on the floor of the hospital corridors.
