Puigcerdà (Catalan pronunciation: [ˌputʃəɾˈða]; Spanish: Puigcerdá, pronounced [putʃθeɾˈða]) is the capital of the Catalan comarca of Cerdanya, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, northern Spain, near the Segre River and on the border with France (it abuts directly onto the French town of Bourg-Madame).

Puigcerdà is located near the site of a Ceretani settlement, which was incorporated into Roman territory.

The Roman town was named Julia Libyca (modern day Llívia).

In the closing stages of the 1672-1678 Franco-Dutch War, the town was captured by a French army under the duc de Noailles but returned to Spain in the Treaties of Nijmegen.

[4] Puigcerdà was unique during the Spanish Civil War in having a democratically elected Anarchist council.
