Church of Sant Llorenç

Sant Llorenç is a church in Lleida with a central nave flanked by two aisles of the same height, three apses, and an octagonal bell tower. The building combines earlier Romanesque foundations with Gothic elements added over time.

The church was built in the late 12th century by sculptors working with architect Pere de Coma. During the 15th century it received major Gothic additions that reshaped its appearance.

The interior holds four Gothic altarpieces showing Saint Lawrence, Saint Ursula, Saint Peter, and Saint Lucy through medieval religious art. These works show how the church has been a place of worship and spiritual devotion for centuries.

The church is located at Plaça de Sant Josep 6 and welcomes visitors without requiring an entrance fee. It is advisable to check current opening hours in advance to plan your visit.

The church served twice as the episcopal seat of Lleida and houses a statue of Verge dels Fillols transferred from the Seu Vella cathedral. This statue creates a direct link between this church and another major religious site in the city.
