Ruta de l’Art Rupestre (Cave Art Route): places of particular interest include: the Moors’ Cave at Cogul, the Cova dels Vilasos, near Os de Balaguer, Bronze Age remains; the cave remains of La Coma and Les Roques Guàrdies, in Les Garrigues; Aparets I, II, III and IV, AntonaI, II and III, La Cova del Tabac and La Cova del Cogulló, in La Noguera. Ruta dels Castells (Castle Route): this includes the medieval fortresses of Montsonís, in La Noguera, Montclar in L’Urgell, Florejacs and Les Pallargues in La Segarra. And other medieval buildings such as the Castell de Vicfred in La Segarra and the Castell de Verdú in L’Urgell. Ruta monumental de Lleida (Monuments of Lleida Route): La Seu Vella (old cathedral), Sant Llorenç (church), the IEI, Sant Martí Vell (church), the Catedral Nova (new cathedral) and the Palau de la Paeria (City Hall). The Seu Vella hill, which contains the longest walled perimeter in Europe, including the ancient fortress of La Suda and the Seu Vella cathedral. Ruta de l’oli (Olive Oil Route): in the rural districts of Les Garrigues, L’Urgell and El Segrià, which form part of the D. O. Les Garrigues. It is particularly recommendable to follow this route in autumn, when it is possible to follow the production process at many of the local agricultural cooperatives. Particular places of interest include the Parc Temàtic de l’Oli (Olive Oil Theme Park), in Les Borges Blanques. There are places in the world that are wrapped in a halo of mystery and charm, and that act as powerful magnets. This is the case with the Lands of Lleida, which are also often referred to by the term "Ponent", on account of them being located in western Catalonia. On the lowlands of “Ponent” we find the rural districts of Les Garrigues, La Noguera, La Segarra, El Segrià, El Pla d'Urgell and L'Urgell, each of which has its own specific character. They offer visitors a wide range of symbols, monuments, castles, monasteries, traditional crafts, beauty spots, gastronomy and settlement that are symbols admired for their beauty by locals and visitors alike. We find villages that deserve to be declared places of tourist interest, such as El Vilosell and La Pobla de Cérvoles in Les Garrigues. There is also the castle of Montsonís, Cubells and Ponts, in La Noguera; the most imposing fortification in the whole of La Segarra is Montfalcó Murallat; while visitors must walk around the Estany d'Ivars, another marvellous beauty spot in El Pla d'Urgell; the Seu Vella of Lleida is the most emblematic symbol of El Segrià, while the monastery for women at Vallbona de les Monges is the most emblematic site in L’Urgell. In these lands, visitors will find everything that their souls desire.
