Balaguer, Medieval town in Noguera, Spain.
Balaguer stretches along the banks of the Segre River at an elevation of 233 meters, surrounded by fertile agricultural lands in northern Catalonia.
The city became the capital of the County of Urgell in 1106 after Ermengol VI conquered it from the Moors and established his residence there.
The Gothic Santa Maria Church, situated on elevated ground, features a bell tower and multiple chapels dedicated to different religious patrons throughout its structure.
The Mercadal Square, established in the 14th century, functions as the main commercial center and represents the largest medieval arcaded square in Catalonia.
The Segre Gold Interpretation Center documents the traditional practice of extracting gold from the Segre River through interactive demonstrations and exhibits.
