CaixaForum Lleida

CaixaForum is a cultural centre managed by Fundación “La Caixa” located at 3 Avinguda de Blondel, in the city of Lleida, cornering Avinguda de Madrid, in the building popularly known as Montepío after the former name of a bank located in this building.

It was later renamed in 2008 to keep the same naming convention as other centres from La Caixa.

One of the tallest in Lleida, this modernism-inspired building was designed by the architect Francesc de Palau Morera Gatell.

Initially, it hosted a movie theatre, Cine Vinyes (the name honouring Ricardo Viñes), and was acquired by La Caixa in 1985.
