The cathedral of La Seu d'Urgell was built by the master mason Ramon Llambard, according to the infobox and text. The infobox gives 1116 to 1182, and the text says only that construction began in 1116. The article names no client, but it is the seat of the Bishops of Urgell. The infobox also lists a 1040 dedication, which the text does not mention.

The article calls it Romanesque, with Italianate features on the ornaments of its west front. It names no materials or dimensions. Josep Puig i Cadafalch began the first restoration in 1918.

A restoration from 1955 to 1974 covered unfinished parts with stone, removed some additions and reformed the interior, which 18th-century plaster had altered. It became a Spanish monument on June 3, 1931. The article gives no hours.
