Avinguda Prat de la Riba, formerly called Avenida del General Mola in Francoist Spain, is one of the main avenues of the city of Lleida. It is 2.5 km in length and 25 meters wide, with 3 lanes in each traffic direction. It is named after the Catalan politician Enric Prat de la Riba, whereas its former namesake was Emilio Mola. When created, it was a merely 805 meters long originating at Plaça de Ricard Viñes and ending by Carrer del Príncep de Viana.
