Lleida is currently an emerging tourist destination that combines an interesting and attractive cultural heritage in a rich and varied natural environment, along with accommodation infrastructure and all kinds of services. The city is working towards the goal of becoming an innovative and smart cultural product linked to the sustainable gastronomy of the Huerta (orchard), which functions as a hub for discovering the surroundings, promoting new mobility patterns.

Thus, we can say that Lleida’s tourist offer is structured around gastronomy and its cultural and natural heritage.

In its old town, the ancient cathedral or Seu Vella (Old Cathedral), a symbol of the capital, stands on a hill. This Gothic-Romanesque temple, construction began in the early 13th century. A few meters from the old cathedral complex, the ruins of the old wall that once surrounded the city and some walls of the Zuda (the Old Cathedral), a 9th-century Arab fortress, still survive. Cultural sites such as the Templar Castle of Gardeny, the New Cathedral, the Paeria Palace, the Old Hospital of Santa Maria, and various cultural facilities constitute a very attractive heritage offering.

On the other hand, the city’s agricultural and natural heritage.

The city center is surrounded in all directions by a vast valley, rich in vegetation and crops, called Horta.
