Lleida is one of the oldest towns in Catalonia, with recorded settlements dating back to the Bronze Age period. This is not my photo (from the internet) but it is necessary to see the grandeur of the Turo de la Seu Vella (the hill and its buildings)over the city. I was never in a place where I could stop the car to capture this. The site includes the Romanesque Cathedral of St Mary of La Seu Vella with it’s 60m high bell tower and beautifully decorated open cloisters, the 13th century Castle of the King and extensive fortifications which were added during the 17th and 18th centuries.
