Puigcerdà, Mountain municipality in Cerdanya, Catalonia, Spain.
Located at 1,202 meters above sea level, Puigcerdà sits near the Segre River, establishing the boundary between Spain and France at Bourg-Madame.
King Alfonso I of Aragon founded Puigcerdà in 1178 as the new capital of Cerdanya, replacing the former administrative center of Hix.
The Torre del Campanar, a 12th-century bell tower, stands as the remaining structure of the parish church that was destroyed in 1936.
The municipality connects to France through the Portet-Saint-Simon railway line, providing transportation options across the Pyrenees since 1929.
The town operated under a democratically elected Anarchist council during the Spanish Civil War, marking an exceptional case in Spanish governance.
