Lleida

Few cities in Catalonia have a history as closely tied to control of the Segre corridor as Lleida. Set on the Segre River in western Catalonia, it is the principal urban centre of the fertile plain around it, an area long shaped by irrigation and agriculture. Above the city rises the Seu Vella, Lleida’s former cathedral, begun in the early 13th century and distinguished by its prominent bell tower. The surrounding hill also preserves the remains of the old fortified precinct, reflecting Lleida’s strategic role between inland Iberia and the Mediterranean-facing parts of Catalonia.
