The Castle of La Suda, also known as the Old Cathedral, is a fortified complex dating back to the 12th century, built on a hill overlooking Lleida. Originally a Muslim fortress, it later became a cathedral after the Christian reconquest. Today, it houses the Lleida Museum, displaying archaeological artifacts and religious art. Visitors can explore the castle's ramparts, towers, and the former cathedral's cloister, all while enjoying sweeping views of the city and the Segre River. The site's layered history is evident in its Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance elements.
