The modernist city
A wide range of Lleida's buildings have a Modernist
imprint. Many of them have undergone recent restoration which
has given them back their original splendour.
Teatre Municipal de l'Escorxador)
This architectural complex, built by architect Francesc
de Paula Morera i Gatell, is the most important example
of Modernist architecture in Lleida. It became part of the
city's industrial heritage and captured the new way of thinking
at the beginning of the 20th century. As years went by,
the work by architect Morera went through different changes
and it was finally finished in 1984. From this moment its
restoration and refurbishing were started so that it could
be used as a cultural facility. |
