The municipality of Agramunt is located in the Urgell region, located at the foot of the Sió river. The municipality is made up of the aggregates of Almenara Alta, Donzell de Urgell, Mafet, Montclar d'Urgell and Les Puelles.

The history of the town of Agramunt dates back to the year 1070 when it was fortified to face the Arab invasion. As a result of this long history, a large number of buildings of great interest have remained. To see part of this history, it is advisable to get lost in its steep streets.

In the center of the town we find the Agramunt Town Hall, an 18th-century baroque-style building located in a porticoed square. Another very interesting square is the Plaza del Mercadal, square in shape from the 19th century, one of the first squares in Catalonia that was built following urban criteria. It is interesting to go through Calle de Sió where there are some large porches on the right side and a very interesting façade with small ceramic tiles from 1933.

Also noteworthy is the Church of Santa María de Agramunt, from the 12th and 13th centuries and in the Romanesque style with a floor plan with three naves finished with three apses, and with Tolosan and Mudejar influences and some decorations of Anglo-Norman origin. In 1931 it was declared a National Monument.

On the outskirts of the town, but clearly visible, is the Montclar Castle, a fortification from the reconquest (11th century) rebuilt in the 17th century, declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1979. Also on the outskirts we find the Pilar de 'Almenara, a round watchtower from the 11th century from where you can see a fantastic panoramic view.

As for gastronomy, Agramunt is known for its nougat made with honey, dried fruit and egg white, made in a traditional way since the 18th century. Its stone chocolate is also well known.

For those who want to delve deeper into art and culture, there is also the Espai Guinovart, where the work of the painter and sculptor Josep Guinovart is; the Municipal Ethnological Museum or the Lo Pardal House of Visual Poetry.
