In 2026, Barcelona commemorates the centenary of Antoni Gaudí’s death, an anniversary of particular significance for the city and the area surrounding the Sagrada Família.
Hostemplo Gaudí 2026 Medal: a keepsake of an unrepeatable moment
Located less than one hundred metres from the basilica, Hostemplo experiences this commemoration from a uniquely close perspective. For this reason, it has created a limited-edition commemorative medal so that guests and visitors can preserve a physical reminder of this historic moment.
The Hostemplo Gaudí 2026 Medal is not intended to be a generic souvenir. It is a small object of memory connecting a stay in Barcelona with the basilica, the neighbourhood and the centenary year.
A medal connected to the Gaudí Centenary 2026
The Tower of Jesus Christ as the central motif
The front of the medal features a representation of the cross crowning the Tower of Jesus Christ at the Sagrada Família, completed in connection with the year 2026.
The composition is surrounded by inscriptions dedicated to the centenary of Antoni Gaudí and the Sagrada Família, together with the dates 1926 and 2026.
The image brings together two closely related events: one hundred years since Gaudí’s death and a new milestone in the construction of his most universal work.
The Hostemplo Barcelona coat of arms on the reverse
The reverse features the Hostemplo Barcelona coat of arms, framed by classical-style ornamentation.
This element identifies the medal as an edition connected to the Hostemplo experience and its privileged location beside the Sagrada Família.
The piece therefore becomes a keepsake not only of the stay, but also of the exact place from which the commemoration was experienced.
A limited edition that will not be produced again
The Hostemplo Gaudí 2026 Medal forms part of a limited and individually numbered edition created exclusively for this commemoration.
Each piece includes its individual number on the presentation card, reinforcing its special and collectible nature.
Once the edition has sold out, the medal will not be produced again. This limitation turns every piece into a witness to an unrepeatable year for Barcelona.
Zamak medal with an antique gold finish
The medal is made of zamak and features an antique gold finish that highlights the relief and details of the design.
Its aged tone gives it a timeless appearance and reinforces its identity as a commemorative object, setting it apart from conventional tourist souvenirs.
With a diameter of 25 mm, it is a compact piece that is easy to preserve, transport or add to a personal collection.
An experience that goes beyond accommodation
The medal forms part of a special initiative developed by Hostemplo for the Gaudí Centenary 2026.
The initiative combines accommodation, heritage, neighbourhood and memory through a series of elements created to help visitors better understand the historic moment Barcelona is experiencing. The medal, commemorative poster and information materials act as an extension of the Hostemplo experience.
It is not simply a matter of giving someone an object, but of creating an emotional connection between the stay, the proximity of the Sagrada Família and the centenary celebration.
A meaningful Barcelona keepsake
In a world filled with impersonal souvenirs, this Barcelona commemorative medal restores the value of objects designed to tell a story.
Its purpose is not merely decorative. It is a piece created to remember a place, a moment and a lived experience. A small object capable of bringing together architecture, memory and local identity.
The Hostemplo Gaudí 2026 Medal is intended for travellers, Gaudí admirers, Barcelona enthusiasts and collectors seeking an exclusive keepsake connected to a historic date.
