It was 40 degrees C today but it didn't stop us making our way up the hill using the elevator accessed off main street. We even climbed the 238 stairs for superb views over Lleida from the top of the bell tower. The cathedral itself is a fascinating place. Still standing and looking good but the ravages of so many wars, battles and misuse have made there mark. Part of the fascination of the place though.

Well, we really enjoyed our visit although we did not go inside. We had decided to visit Lleida on our way home from the coast but after I had made the booking, I was unsure that there would be much activity in the city on a Sunday. It was a lovely day, the last Sunday in October and we decided to go up to the church. From the square there are steps, but also a lift and an escalator that can be taken half way up and then there is another lift which goes almost all the way to the top. The views were stunning and we found that there was a fiesta in progress. There was a classic car rally, a group of drummers, line dancing, people dressed up in old uniforms, archery, stalls selling local produce etc. It was great. We had our dog with us so could coy go inside so we will leave that for another visit. I had read reviews saying that it was a crumbling edifice, but we found it interesting and beautiful. There is a nice cafe near the top with views over the river and the prices are less that you would expect. Well worth the visit and I hope to come back again.

Your entry ticket covers both the cathedral , the museum and the cloisters . These are which you see first ; the sense of peace and tranquillity is overwhelming . Don't miss the museum which houses many religious artefacts from churches around the region and displays explaining the techniques used to create medieval manuscripts , some restored murals and a collection of Madonnas and Child . Unfortunately the audio visual installation wasn't working but we had really come to admire the romanesque cathedral and its smaller chapel of St Michael . Restoration has been excellent and very little decoration made , which might detract from the wonderful architecture . The town has some ancient arcades , the palace of the Bishop , who is ex officio , one of the co-princes of Andorra . Its other attraction is the canal with artificial rapids constructed for the Barcelona Olympic canoe and kayak events , which still attracts exponents of those sports .

One cannot avoid getting lost in this charming town in the Aran Valley and any path one takes will always take you and this beautiful Romanesque church will be present. Declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, it is considered a standard of Aranese Romanesque architecture, it is located on a high point where the castle of Arties also stood, of which only one tower remains It has two access doorways, the main one, which opens onto the north façade, is spectacular with semicircular arches, the decoration has semicircular motifs, the last archivolt is finished off with a border identical to that of the cornice of the apses. Two corbel stones are decorated in the shape of male faces, A cross is engraved on one of the blocks next to the door The church has an altarpiece that represents several biblical scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, on the ceiling there are some masterful wall paintings, which represent the biblical scenes of the Last Judgment with hell, heaven and the resurrection of the dead.
