History
Alcoletge was first mentioned in documents from the year 1118, in an agreement between Ramón Berenguer III and Arnau Berenguer of Anglesola. This Count of Barcelona received the castle from Alcoletge de Ibn Hilal (Avifelel), the Almoravid from Lleida. It is precisely the name of this document (al-Kolaia) from which the town received its name. It seems that there was a Visigothic village in the area that was the foundation of the Muslim nucleus. The parish was documented in 1168 and in 1200 it formed part of Lleida. Part of the municipality belonged to the monastery of Junqueras of Barcelona until the end of the feudal system.
During the Catalan Revolt the castle was destroyed and the sixteenth-century shrine which depended on the Junqueras convent, Barcelona, was sacked and in 1665 the location was listed as deserted. The Spanish War of Succession in 1707 caused a second disaster and a second depopulation. The city council of Lleida, which emerged from the Nueva Planta decrees in 1719, appointed a mayor from within the criminal jurisdiction of the location and municipal area of Alcoletge, and this served as the origin of the independent municipality.

•Mirador del Segrià
La iglesia parroquial está dedicada a San Miguel. Fue construida en el siglo XVIII,en estilo neoclásico, tomando la catedral nueva de Lérida como modelo. Consta de tres naves cubiertas con bóveda de arista y una vistosa fachada. En 1936 se destruyó un retablo barroco procedente de la Catedral Vieja de Lérida y que se conservaba en este templo.
No queda ningún vestigio del viejo edificio, que estaba situado en el tozal que domina el pueblo, donde se han encontrado restos de cerámica árabe de época medieval. Tampoco queda ningún vestigio del casal renacentista (Cal Mo) de las monjas de Junqueras que tenía una bella galería con arcos en la parte posterior.
Alcoletge celebra su fiesta mayor en el mes de mayo. La segunda fiesta tiene lugar en el mes de septiembre.
