Tourist Sites

Escorxador municipal theatre (C/ Lluís Companys, s/n) This architectural complex is the work of the architect Francesc de Paula Morera i Gatell. It is the most important example of Modernist architecture in the city, belonging to its industrial heritage and also representing the new sensitivity of the beginning of the century. With the passing of time, architect Morera's creation underwent various changes and was finally closed in 1984. Its restoration and remodelling began at that time, so it could be used as a first-class cultural facility
Melcior house (Plaça Sant Francesc, 2) Modernist double facade building designed by Francesc de Paula Morera i Gatell, with exceptional galleries with coloured stained-glass window, stuccoed stonework, carpentry, wrought iron and glazed tiles.
Morera de la Lira house (Av. de Blondel) The Morera House, built in 1922 is, because of its originality, a unique example of Catalan Modernism. Recently restored, it is also known as the House of la Lira because of the decoration on its façade.
Magí llorens house (C/ Major, 74-76) Modernist-style building, boasting an artistic façade. The galleries, balconies and the stone floral motifs on the ground floor are worthy of mention.
Balash houses (Rambla d'Aragó, 31-33-35) Complex of three two-storey buildings with galleries, by the architect Morera (1914). The use of marble, the stuccoed floral compositions and the carpentry are worthy of mention.
Bergós house (Plaça de la Sal, corner Clot de les Monges) Dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. Remarkable architecture on the balconies and Art Nouveau mouldings. The wrought iron and the use of floral and geometric motifs are revealed in all their splendour following their recent restoration.

Baró house, La Vinícola (Av. de Blondel, 100) Built in 1921, it is known as La Vinícola because of the shop situated on the ground floor for years. The façade, with chamfered corners and windowed balconies, shows a wealth of colour in the plaster decoration.
The riverside park Going for a walk along the avenue parallel to the right bank of the River Segre we will see the city's noble façade: the building of Montepío, the Principal Casino, Cristòfol art gallery, Melcior House, the neoclassical façade of the Paeria and that of the Pal·las building, dominated by the Seu Vella.
La Mitjana La Mitjana is a surprising natural area that spreads out to the boundary of the city. It is a riverside wetland area spreading over 90 hectares, which was declared Area of Natural Interest in 1979. The most typical element of the area is water. Its microclimate has encouraged the growth of a luxuriant riverside woodland. Its vegetation is made up of black poplars, poplars, alders and ashes; bushes such as willows, tamarisks or brambles and a layer of shrubs with water lentils, bulrush, reeds, yellow lilies and rushes. The fauna is another outstanding point of interest in Mitjana Park. Because of their habits, birds are particularly easy to watch. In the wetland areas there are many mallard ducks, moorhens or gallinules, gulls, egrets and grey herons. Birds of prey such as harriers, buzzards and even ospreys fly above this area. Amphibians and reptiles are represented by water snakes, adders, green frogs and toads. There are also many fish, such as barbels and pikeperch and mammals such as wild boar or foxes. Mitjana Park is the ideal place to go for a walk, to do some exercise and to observe fauna and flora.
