EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic city of Lleida, also known as Lerida, nestled at the foot of a hill overlooking the serene waters of the Segre River in Spain. In ancient times, Lleida held great significance as the chief city of the Ilergetes, an Iberian tribe. The city was named Iltrida and Ilerda, and its strategic location made it a coveted target for various invaders. Indul and Mandoni, kings of the Ilergetes, valiantly defended Lleida against the Carthaginian and Roman invasions. The city's rich history can be traced back to the Iberian, Roman, and medieval periods. The Roman influence is evident in the remains of the Temple of Augustus and the Roman Bridge, which spans the Segre River. The photograph, taken in 1906, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of courage and resilience. The hilltop castle, which dominates the skyline, stands as a testament to the city's storied past and its ability to withstand the test of time. The Segre River, which winds its way through the city, adds to its picturesque beauty and serene ambiance. Lleida, with its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural surroundings, continues to be an intriguing destination for history buffs and travelers alike. This photograph serves as a reminder of the city's fascinating past and its enduring allure.
