- La Seu d'Urgell is a town located in the Catalan Pyrenees in Spain. La Seu d'Urgell is also the capital of the comarca Alt Urgell, head of the judicial district of la Seu d'Urgell and the seat of Bishop of Urgell, one of the Andorra co-princes.
According to tradition, the Seu d'Urgell was founded by Hercules the Egyptian in 1699 BC, while he was on vacation in the Pyrenees. In the Bronze Age there was already a village on top of the Castellciutat hill. The Romans built a small settlement on the plain. With the consecration of the first cathedral, from the 5th century onwards, the importance of the city of Urgell began to grow exponentially. Its strategic position and the political power of the bishopric consolidated the See as one of the most important cities in medieval Catalonia. Today it is an active city, service center and cultural capital of a wide Pyrenean area.
Currently the most important industry is dairy, the wood, metal, energy and construction materials sector is also important.

A nice place, but where is everyone? Did you shoot this super early in the morning? 🤔
Siesta time 😄
@@BABeenHere 🥱
People in Spain are taking siesta very seriously. 😁
@@BABeenHere I've heard the tradition is dying out in the bigger cities. Untrue?
I think in big cities, people would still get a nap after lunch if they can. It's just depending on their schedules. There are many people go to big cities to work, so probably those will not have a place to nap unless they live close by. And people working in comercial area and tourist area are always too busy to have a siesta.
