Lleida. The Palace of the Paeria (Town Hall) is one of the few examples of civilian romanesque architecture to be found in Catalonia, together with Can Llaudes in Besalú. In one of the halls is kept a valuable gothic altarpiece and the miniatures of the Book of Uses and Customs dating back to the XIVth century. The New Cathedral of barroque style contains some important XVIth century Flemish tapestries. The old Saint Mary Hospital is a beautiful example of gothic architecture with plateresque influence.

The National Park of Aigües Tortes and the lake of Sant Maurici are especially charming for their landscape, harsh, but combined with the water lend it a great esthetic force.
