The Lleida City Council has organized a free guided tour of the ancient Pozos del hielo (ice wells), a little-known historical site in the city, as part of the Obert Centre Històric 2026 activity.

The tour will take place on September 20, 2026, lasting one hour, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This activity will allow attendees to learn about these ancient wells, which were used to store ice during the warmer months.
The meeting point will be at 11:00 AM at the top of the wells, located in Santa Cecilia Park, with access from Camp de Mart street. The activity is free and does not require prior registration, thus facilitating access for all those interested in local history.
This initiative is part of the Obert Centre Històric 2026 program, which aims to promote and value the historical and cultural heritage of Lleida. The Pozos del hielo are a testament to the food and beverage storage techniques used in past eras.
