New Cathedral of Lleida

Lleida, Spain · built 1761

The Cathedral of the Assumption, commonly known as the New Cathedral of Lleida (Catalan: Seu Nova de Lleida, Catedral Nueva de Lérida), is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in the city of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. It is the seat of the Diocese of Lleida. It was built between 1761 and 1782 with donations from Charles III of Spain, bishop Joaquín Sánchez, and other citizens of Lleida. The New Cathedral replaced the old cathedral, called La Seu Vella, which had been converted into a fortress and garrison as a result of the War of Spanish Succession. Its style can be said to be austere Baroque or Neoclassical, and it is located by the main commercial street of the city, opposite the Santa Maria Hospital.
