The current cathedral in Lleida is considered the earliest neoclassical building in Catalonia, retaining elements of late Baroque and French academic styles.

Spanish Pyrenees Distance - Lerida (Greater Region) When you visit Lerida, Spain, you must check out the famous local La Seu Vella Cathedral! Known as the earliest neoclassical style building in Catalonia, it also carefully retains elements of the late Baroque and French academics, sooo has an artistic feel~ The architecture was designed by Pedro Martin Sermenio and personally directed by Italian architect Francisco Sabatini. The entire church is made of gray stone, with a plain but super atmospheric exterior, and the interior is more worthy of slow appreciation: three naves, semi-cylindrical vaults supported by columns, and Corinthian pilasters, the geometric structure blends perfectly with the classical decoration. I recommend you to walk up the stairs on the main facade, you will see a super giant emblem with the Bourbon dynasty emblem engraved on it, super eye-catching! The church's three semicircular porch is a representative of the neoclassical style, plus two bell towers on the side and a terrace with a railing in the middle. If you are an architecture junkie or love human history, La Seu Vella is definitely not to be missed!
