Lleida modernist
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.
