The 14th-century Capella de Sant Jaume in Lleida

Nestled at the crossroads of carrer Major and carrer de Cavallers in Lleida, the Capella de Sant Jaume, designated as Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional, is also known as Peu del Romeu. Originating under Arab rule, this chapel was subsequently rededicated to Sant Jaume, making it a stop along the Catalan route of the Camí de Sant Jaume. The entrance on carrer Major features a Gothic image of the Mare de Déu amb el Nen, flanked by figures of Sant Jaume and Sant Joan Baptista.

Additional doors are present on carrer de Cavallers. The principal facade features the Mare de Déu de les Neus, Sant Jaume, and Sant Joan Baptista, while the facade on carrer de Cavallers portrays two archways of varying dimensions, the larger of which displays a small òcul. Inside, a sculpture of Sant Jaume by Jaume Gort Farré and an altar decorated by a mural by Miquel Roig i Nadal are prominent features.

Today, the Capella de Sant Jaume stands as a place of worship dedicated to Sant Jaume, the apostle. The chapel is a key part of the local tradition, including the Romeria dels Fanalets, where the history of the apostle's journey through Lleida is commemorated annually.
