Pobla de Segur, La
Lleida · Cataluña
La Pobla de Segur (Catalan pronunciation: [la ˈpoβla ðe seˈɣu]) is a municipality located in the comarca of Pallars Jussà, province of Lleida, Catalonia, in northern Spain. It has a population of 3,143 (register office, 2025) . It is situated at the confluence of the Flamicell and Noguera Pallaresa rivers in the north of the comarca, above the Sant Antoni reservoir. It is an important local service centre, which has allowed it to escape the depopulation which has affected many municipalities in northwestern Catalonia. The village is served by the C-13 road between Tremp and Sort, the N-260 road to Pont de Suert and by a railway station on a railway line to Lleida. Famous people from La Pobla de Segur include FC Barcelona player Carles Puyol and former High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell. It is a designated book town, due to the high number of bookshops in the vicinity.
History
The earliest settlement in the area was to the north of the present town, known as El Pui de Segur. It was incorporated into the county of Pallars after Count Guillaume I of Toulouse conquered the region from the Moors in the ninth century. The town was transferred to its current location in the middle of the thirteenth century, and came under the control of Pere VII el Donzell, Viscount of Vilamur, in 1355. His son Pere VIII granted the first charter to the town in 1363. Control would later pass to the Dukes of Cardona.
The Comú de Particulars is a local cooperative, established in 1834 to manage a flour mill given to the town by the Duke of Cardona; open to natives of the town or their spouses, it is now a cultural organisation managing the income from the local hydroelectric power station. The Torre Maure is a notable group of modernista buildings from the start of the twentieth century.
