Cities, Towns and Villages in Catalonia

Terres de Lleida

LLEIDA Escape to

Located at the foot of the two hills upon which you can find the Seu Vella and the Templar castle of Gardeny, Lleida has welcomed the Ilergetes, the Romans, the Visigoths, the Jews, the Arabs and the Christians since the 6 th century BC. These civilisations have contributed to the sustainable and exemplary growth of the city, hugged tightly by its “vegetable garden” —the green belt which surrounds it and supplies the whole of Catalonia with fruit and vegetables—, and natural areas such as La Mitjana Park, the River Segre or the Camps Elisis. Also, Lleida stands out due to its geostrategic importance as an access door to Europe and a connecting link between the Mediterranean and the plateau which, together with its rich historical, cultural and patrimonial legacy, have turned it into the capital of inland Catalonia. The city you can’t help but love
