places and concepts to add to the World Heritage list. Such is the case of the Turó de la Seu Vella in Lleida, a 13th to 14th century monumental complex that has become the symbol of the city, and the interesting portico of the monastery of Ripoll, a Biblical tale carved in stone in the 12th century. These applications are accompanied by the Catalan rumba and the day of Sant Jordi as Intangible Cultural Heritage, as well as Cata- lan cuisine, which is influenced by the variety of landscapes in Catalonia, the wide range of products, their degree of protec- tion, and the fact that the oldest recipe book in Europe is written in Catalan. Work is also under way on the candidacy of the Priorat-Montsant-Siurana and its high quality vineyards as UNESCO World Heritage site for its scenery.
