New Cathedral of Lleida

The current cathedral replaced the earlier cathedral, La Seu Vella, located in the highest point in town, and for a time used as a garrison.

The church was constructed in an early Neoclassical-style in using designs by Pedro Martín Cermeño and construction directed by Francisco Sabatini.

The austere building was built with local gray stone, but with a coat of arms of the ruling House of Bourbon.

It has two large flanking bell towers, joined by a terrace with a balustrade.
