Seu Vella
The Cathedral Santa Maria de la Seu Vella, is the former cathedral church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lleida, in Catalonia.
In 1707, the Gothic cathedral was turned into a military citadel by decision of King Philip V of Spain. The new cathedral, known as the Seu Nova (New See) was consecrated in 1781.
Nevertheless, the Seu Vella is the defining monument of Lleida, the symbol of the city, being visible from its hilltop site anywhere in the city.
