The Cathedral of St. Mary of La Seu Vella (Catalan: Catedral de Santa Maria de la Seu Vella) is the former cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lleida, located on top of Lleida hill.
In 1707, the Gothic cathedral was turned into a military citadel. The new cathedral, known as the Seu Nova and located downhill at Carrer Major, was consecrated in 1781
Nevertheless, the Seu Vella is the defining monument of Lleida, the symbol of the city, being visible from its hilltop site anywhere in the city.
You can't miss it !!!
