Lleida, considered the capital of inland Catalonia and the gateway to Europe, is based on the millennial legacy of the peoples and cultures that populated this strategic enclave, on the banks of the Segre river and at the foot of the Seu Vella hill, an ancient cathedral that It is considered one of the main tourist and heritage attractions of the city and a must-see. La Seu Vella - also known as "the Castle of Lleida" was built on a hill from where you can see not only the city, but also much of the Segrià region and the Lleida plain.

Its construction, begun in 1203, lasted for more than two centuries until the bell tower was completed in 1431. According to historians, the Seu Vella was built on the site of a Muslim mosque, the first master builder being Pere de Coma. The great work began with the construction of the temple, dedicated to Santa María, which has a Latin cross basilica plan with three naves and was consecrated to worship in 1278.
