La Llotja de Lleida is a theatre and congress centre in Lleida (Catalonia, Spain). It opened its doors in January 2010, and is owned by the city council. Giuseppe Verdi's Il Trovatore premiered there on 21 January that year.[1] Its two congress halls, called A and B, have capacity for 400 and 200 people, while the main auditory, Sala Ricard Vinyes, has 1000 seats.[2] It's located in Pardinyes, next to the river Segre and the Lleida Pirineus railway station, on the site of a former municipal market.

The animation film festival Animac moved to La Llotja de Lleida in February 2010, on the occasion of its 14th edition.[3]

On 23 March 2010, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia of Spain officially opened La Llotja de Lleida.
