In 1413 the Chapel of the Trinity was built but it was burnt during the Peninsular War. In 1445 jurisdictional gallows of Barcelona were built, they consisted in three stones and some wood put on the top. The Trinity was sparsely inhabited and with few countryhouses, vines were grown in the highest part of the area. Between 1952 and 1954, the vineyards disappeared to build apartment blocks and a prison was built in the highest point. A few years later, the expansion of new roads divided The Trinity into two neighborhoods: The New Trinity and The Old Trinity, separated by Meridiana Avenue.
