Lleida

The city spreads along both banks of the Segre River, with narrow medieval streets in the old quarter and modern neighborhoods in the surrounding areas.

The Romans established the settlement of Ilerda in 49 BC, which became a strategic location during Julius Caesar's victory over Pompey's forces.

The University of Lleida, founded in 1297, stands as the third oldest academic institution in Spain and maintains a central role in regional education.

The local transportation network connects the city through regular bus services and train links to Barcelona and Madrid via the Renfe railway system.

The Seu Vella cathedral, built in 1203, combines Byzantine-Gothic architecture with Moorish elements and sits on a hilltop overlooking the entire city.
