Great Sightseeing Choices of Lleida


By Jan Kanty at 2010-10-11 04:39:43
Lleida is a province located at Catalan Pyrenees with a capital situated in Segre valley. There is the good blend of old and new buildings here which give an interesting view of the place.

Interesting places of visit

The historical pieces include the old cathedral on a hill, right in city centre with La Zuda’s ruins, which is the Aragon kings’ palace. These sites are preserved and protected by the nation, reflecting the eventful history of this place.

There are cathedrals galore which are Neo structures, exhibiting elegance, despite the age of time such as La Sang, Sant Marti and Sant Lloren churches. The city hall, La Paheria and Lleida castle are worthy of your visits. An old hospital, a large Gothic-style museum and monuments cast with Iberian warriors’ struggle against Roman conquest and stand firm and memorable.

The province offers many places worthy of visit, such as a 1351 bridge that has 7 arches with Santa Marta above on the hill, Santo Domingo Convent and a castle. There is also an elaborately decorated square, El Mercadal.

The capital of La Segarra region is Cervera, which houses an old and large university with a quaint Baroque type portal, and Sant Maria Church, which is of Romanesque and Goth influence. The capital’s Town Hall as well as Sant Pere Gros church (located on circular ground), are interesting sights for any visitor to behold; as does Santa Magdalena’s Gothic ruins.

Cervera offers splendid Roman and Iberian ceramics pieces, astounding Gothic imagery and panels, which are found in its museum along with Borjes Blanques and Urgel canal that has fruit trees, almond trees and olive groves all around.

Solsona is right in the middle of Cardener and Segre, which has a 1593 Episcopal cathedral of Romanesque influence showcasing a fantastic Baroque-style façade. Here you will find the interesting Diocesan Museum with nearby churches and quaint villages, such as El Miracle sanctuary and Olius village.

La Seu d'Urgell is situated at the meeting point of Segre and Valira Rivers, right at the province’s north. Its amazing 11th century Romanesque cathedral building is breath-taking. There are plenty of quaint churches and museums to explore here.

North Lleida has extraordinary scenery and places of interest to thrill any visitor, such as Viella skiing centre at Aran valley. Viella is also the capital. There are many impressive churches of Romanesque architecture in Boi Valley too.

If you are planning for family vacations, staying at villas may be a great option luxury villas spain, mallorca villas rent and villa pollensa are few of best options.
