Description: The photograph from the year 1914 showing the Gothic sculptures of the apostolate of the door of the Apostles of the old See of Lleida, deposited in the Museum of the Seminary and preserved in the Diocesan Archives of Lleida, is a photographic document of great heritage, artistic and documentary value. This image is part of the historical cycle of the 19th-20th centuries and forms part of a graphic collection linked to the conservation and study of medieval Catalan heritage. Territorially, it provides a concrete vision of the city of Lleida, within the vegueria of Lleida, and contributes to the thematic diversity of the project in the fields of culture, art and historic habitats. The photograph documents the state and location of these Gothic sculptures at a key moment for their preservation, and reflects the growing interest of Catalan society in the protection of its religious and artistic heritage. This image is a clear example of how Catalonia, through research, museology and visual documentation, aligns itself with the European currents of valuing heritage and building its own and shared cultural identity.
