The Mayor of Lleida, Fèlix Larrosa, has unveiled the restoration project for the old Camps Elisis Cafe Theatre, a historic building that will be converted into a literary center.

The architectural intervention has a budget of 2.5 million euros and an execution period of 16 months. Funding is provided by the Single Plan for Works and Services of Catalonia (PUOSC). The goal is to restore the building's original transparency and connection to the gardens.

"This action aims to restore the values of the Cafe Theatre and project it into the future."
