In 1772, after the expulsion of the Jesuits, the title of cathedral was transferred to the Jesuit church, now the New Cathedral of Coimbra.

The Old Cathedral of Lleida was built between 1203 and 1278 in the Romanesque style, but its tower and main door are from the 15th century and were therefore built in Gothic.

After decades of neglect, the cathedral became a prison under Franco during the Spanish Civil War and was restored from the 1950s onwards.

In the 1850s, when the parish of Aker was divided into three, there were plans to demolish the church of Gamle Aker, but this was prevented when the municipality bought the church in 1852. The medieval interior is not preserved, but in the 1950s attempts were made to give the church a more medieval appearance.
