Urgellet

Urgellet (Catalan pronunciation: [uɾdʒeˈʎet]) is a historical territory and a natural region of Catalonia.

It is located in the Pyrenees exactly in the actual administrative comarca of Alt Urgell, that last includes Baridà, Urgellet and the banks of Oliana, Peramola and Bassella.

The mountainous territory of Urgellet is almost wholly part of the Alt Urgell, except for the eastern Baridà and the southern sector.

In the latter case, the territory Urgellet was leading the county, with capital in la Seu d'Urgell, and extended southwards up to the comarques of Urgell and Pla d'Urgell, among others.

[1] Linguist Joan Coromines interprets the meaning as related to the presence of water.
