La Seu Vella, Medieval church complex on Turó hill, Lleida, Spain.

The Seu Vella cathedral features a Latin cross layout with three naves, an octagonal bell tower, and seventeen Gothic windows in its cloister.

Construction of the cathedral started in 1203 under architect Pere de Coma, and in 1707 King Philip V transformed it into military barracks.

The cathedral displays architectural elements from different traditions, including Muslim windows, Gothic arches, and Romanesque structural components throughout the building.

Visitors can reach the top of the 60-meter bell tower by climbing 238 steps for views of Lleida and the Segrià plain.

The cathedral contains a central window in its cloister that combines both a Star of David and a Christian cross in its design.
