Ciutadilla is a village and municipality in the comarca of Urgell in Catalonia, Spain. Its population in 2013 was 209.
The village, the only settlement in the municipality, is situated on a hill close to where the Montblanc-to-Tàrrega highway crosses the Corb river. Its ruined castle occupies a commanding position overlooking not just the village but also the plains of Urgell and Segarra. [4] Many of the buildings in the village serve as holiday homes.
The municipality's economy depends largely on agriculture, mainly non-irrigated barley and other grains, vines, olives, and almonds, as well as pig- and poultry-farming. [4]
Ciutadilla village developed around its castle, and spread downhill. The castle is mentioned in extant 12th-century documents, and was significantly improved in the 16th century. It was badly damaged during the First Carlist War in 1835, and fell into ruins after that. [4] The municipality's population reached a peak of 872 in 1887, but has since steadily declined with the rest of the region to 209 in 2013. [5] Many archaeological remains from the Iberic, Greek and Roman periods have been found in the municipality. [4]
The main festivals in Ciutadilla are that of Saint Roch on the second weekend of August, and its patron saint Saint Michael on 29 September. [4]
