Lleida

Lleida is the treasure of the entire Catalan civilization. Although it is far less famous than Barcelona, the history that can be traced back to the Bronze Age has left countless civilization marks and splendid cultures here…

Attractions

01 Seuveira Cathedral
This building, built in the 13th century, is one of the most unmissable places in Lleida, and it is also located in the very center of the city. Few buildings in the world can have the functions of a church and a castle at the same time, and it is rare to see both Romanesque and Gothic styles in a church. Looking far away from that hillside, the surrounding cities and fields are unobstructed, and the scenery is unparalleled. It’s best to take pictures when the sun sets.

02 Site of Santa Maria Hospital
This is a hospital that was built as early as the 15th century. You can see what it looked like when the concept of a hospital just emerged in the Middle Ages, with the Catalan-style vaults and the atrium surrounded by stone steps. , Everyone will be shocked by being surrounded by such a gothic style!

03 Urban Reservoir
The medieval old town is very small. Surrounded by the largest church, the stone buildings show the vicissitudes of life. Take a leisurely walk in the old town. When you are tired, you can stop and find a cafe or restaurant.

05 Segre River
A river originating in the Pyrenees has split the atmosphere of Lleida in half, with the ancient city on one side and the new district on the other. There are wide trails on both sides of the river bank, so you can enjoy nature freely.

Festival

01 Snail Pilgrimage Festival
An exclusive food festival in Lleida, usually on a certain weekend in May, will have concerts, various performances, and 10,000 ways to eat snails, a feast that must not be missed in May.

02 Autumn Carnival
It is also a festival that only belongs to Lleida, because it is a large agricultural province. After the autumn harvest, a series of celebrations will start, such as towers, giant statue parades, fireworks displays, and so on.
