In which city did Salvador Dalí die in 1989?

The story behind the answer

Salvador Dalí died in Figueres, Spain, in 1989.

Figueres was Dalí’s birthplace and remained central to his identity throughout his life. He died at the city’s Hospital de Figueres on 23 January 1989, aged 84. His body was buried in the crypt beneath the stage of the Dalí Theatre-Museum, the landmark he helped create in the town.

Cadaqués and Portlligat are common alternative answers because Dalí spent much of his life on the Catalan coast and maintained his home and studio at Portlligat. Barcelona is also closely connected with his early exhibitions. However, the city of his death was Figueres, where his museum and final resting place remain major attractions.
