Gardeny Castle is a 12th-century Romanesque fort built by the Knights Templar at Lleida. Located on a neighbouring hill, just over a mile away, from Lleida's main fortress, the Castle of La Suda, Gardeny defended the only accessible side of that castle. Although by the 20th century, the only buildings left standing were the palace and the church of Santa María de Gardeny, at right angles to each other, the castle grounds originally had several other buildings that were destroyed during the wars of the 17th and 18th centuries. Archaeological studies from 2005 show that the palace and church were originally constructed as two separate buildings, later joined by a corridor or sacristy.
François Collignon's contemporary middle oblique view of the start of the siege of Lleida shows, among other details, the location of Gardeny in relation to the citadel—containing Lleida's principal castle, the old cathedral and the bishop's palace—within the city walls.
In the 19th century, at the time of Suchet's siege of the Lleida and its two castles, La Suda and Gardeny, the area also had the two strong fortifications of San Fernando and Pilar.

Instituts-Templers is a district of Lleida, Catalonia, Spain. It's made up of different areas between La Mariola, Universitat and the river Segre, mostly working-class, some middle class. "Templers-Escorxador" is located within the portion of medieval Lleida which was once owned by the Knights Templar, hence the name. "Instituts" refers to the oldest public secondary institutes or high-schools of the 20th century town, that dominate the area next to Gardeny. It has undergone serious urban regeneration during the 1990s and especially the 2000s. It had over 15000 inhabitants in 2009. The Battle of Ilerda took place in this area of Roman-era Lleida, then called Ilerda.
