The New Cathedral was built bet­ween 1761 and 1781 with en­do­w­ments from the people of Lleida, King Carlos III and Bishop Joa­quín Sánchez. Built in the ba­ro­que style with hints of Fren­ch academic classicism, the main entrance is topped with the coat of arms of the Borbon fa­mi­ly.

A staircase leads to three ar­ched doorways fitted with iron gates and flanked on each side by towers. In- side, the nave and two aisles are li- ned with slim Corin­thian columns su­pporting roun­ded arches. The choir, crea­ted in the Baroque style by Lluís Bo­nifas Massó, was destroyed du­ring the Spanish Ci­vil War (1936).

The Cathedral houses a sculp­tu­re by Josep Obiols of Our Lady of Montserrat, the patron of Ca­talonia, whom pilgrims visit on 27 April each year. Also ce­le­ bra­ted on 2 Fe­brua­ry each year is the feast of the Verge del Blau (or Bruised Virgin), named be­cau­se of the damage done when its sculptor, finding that his appren­tice had com- pleted the work to a higher artistic stan­dard than his own, threw a ha­m­mer at the finished work.

The New Cathedral is also home to the Chapter Archive, re­garded as the richest ec­cle­ sias­tical ar­chive in Catalonia, with a co­llec­tion of more than 13,000 books, 16,000 parchments and a huge number of codices and ear­ly ma­nus­cripts. One of the jewels in the collection is the Lleida Bi­ble, an historic illuminated co­dex and the largest of the an­cient Spa­nish bibles in exis­ten­ce. The­re is also a periodicals library, a music ar- chive and a collection of maps and pho­to­gra­phs.

The chapel has been nic­k­na­med the Sistine Plaça Sant Llorenç Lleida Chapel of Ma­rian Art owing to the 300 m2 (Map C5 nº13) of frescos dating from 1871 that decorate the chapel. They are uniques, not only for their ar­tis­tic va­lue, but also because this is the only place in the world whe­re the whole life of the Vir­gin Mary is presented in ar­tis­tic form. The chapel, in Flo­ren­tine Gothic style, is pre­sided over by the figure of the White Virgin. The white statue was sculpted from the wood of a linden tree, and its colour was the origin of the name of the Patron Saint of Lleida. Ano­ther important feature of this small sanctuary is its co­llec­tion of wrought Acadèmia,17 Lleida iron.

32 33 MUSEO DE ARTE

The Jaume Morera Art Mu­seum of Llei- da is a public mu­seum, whose mission is to bring together a collection of mo- dern and contemporary art within whe- re the contributions of Lleida’s artists are appro­pria­te­ly contextualised. It also aims to conserve, study, interpret and exhibit this art as a way of ex­plai­ning the history of mo­dern and contemporary artistic ma­nifestations and, through the deplo- yment of a range of cul­tu­ral services, to encourage and facilitate its visitors’ unders­ tan­ ding­ and critical appreciation in the contemplation and en­jo­yment of art. This mission is embodied in the re- solute pre­ser­vation and con­servation of its collections, whi­ch span the whole of the twen­tieth century and are projected towards the twenty-first century,­ espe- cially in the Museum’s programme of temporary ex­hi­bitions and a wide rea- ching edu­cative pro­gra­mme that is ad- dressed at different public sectors.

The Museum is owned by the local Council but also benefits from the as- sistance of the De­pu­ta­tion of Lleida and the Mi­nis­try of Culture of the Ge­ne­ra­litat de Catalunya.

MOORS& XXIII MOORS AND CHRISTIANS FESTIVAL With the Moors and Christians Festival, the city has proudly re­covered a lost tradition that da­tes CHRISTIANS from the 12th century. The Festival starts on Saturday in la Paeria square in order to finish on Sunday with the last battle.

On Sunday morning, child’s pro­cession take pla- ce and then pre­sented the Lleida’s Band playing traditional music. In the af­ter­no­on the groups of Moors and Chris­tians are joined in the Seu Ve- lla to parade with their co­lor­ful uniforms in the main streets. Before nightfall, they start a sa­tirical speech that cau­se a ver­bal confrontation that fo- llows the spectacular batt­le, with the incompa- rable fra­mework of the Seu Vella, the castle that crowns the city as a backdrop.

In Sep­t­ember, they also recreate the ceremony and banquet for the royal wedding of Ramon Be­ ren­guer IV and Pe­tronilla, in the hill of the Seu Vella.

M AY52 FESTIVAL53 XXXIX APLEC DEL CARAGOL DE LLEIDA (SNAIL FESTIVAL)

The Aplec del Caragol, or Snail Festival, takes place at the end of May and marks the end of this busy month. Declared a Festival of National Interest for Tourism and a Traditional Festival of National Interest, the Snail Festival is the city’s most popular festival and one of the most important leisure-gastronomic ce­le­bra­tio­ns in Catalonia. Camps Elisis Park is the scenario of a three-day snail-eating feast, where 12,200 participatings in 100 social clubs stake out their separate plots of land and settle down to eat more than 12 tonnes of snails.

Many delicious menus and suc­culent snail spe- cialities are avai­lable for visitors in the restau- rant area at reasonable prices. Ori­gi­nal compe- titions such as snail races, and more traditional ones such as allioli (sauce) hand made, together with the constant presence of bands marching in the streets, create an animated atmosphere that spreads throughout the city.

Thou­sands of visitors from all over come to join the fun. The parade of the social clubs on the last day of the festival is a lively affair, especially as it cros­ses Pont Vell bridge. The week befo- re the festival, the social clubs also organize a number of different cultural events.
