Lleida is currently an emerging tourist destination that combines an interesting and attractive cultural heritage in a rich and varied natural environment, together with accommodation infrastructures and all kinds of services. The city works around the objective of becoming an innovative and smart cultural product linked to the sustainable gastronomy of La Huerta that functions as a HUB for discovering the environment, promoting new mobility patterns.
Thus, we can say that Lleida’s tourist offer is structured on the basis of gastronomy and cultural and natural heritage.
In its old town, the old cathedral or Seu Vella stands out on a hill, symbol of the capital, a Gothic Romanesque temple that began to be built at the beginning of the 13th century. A few meters from the old cathedral enclosure, the ruins of the old wall that once surrounded the city and some walls of the Zuda, an Arab fortress from the 9th century, still survived. Assets of cultural interest such as the Templar Castle of Gardeny, the new cathedral, the Palacio de la Paería or the Old Hospital of Santa María and various cultural facilities constitute a very attractive heritage offer.
On the other hand, the agricultural and natural heritage.
The center of the city is surrounded in all directions by an extensive valley, rich in vegetation and cultivation called Horta.
