History

[edit]
Ciutadilla in 1914

Ciutadilla village developed around its castle, and spread downhill. The castle is mentioned in extant 12th-century documents, and was significantly improved in the 16th century. It was badly damaged during the First Carlist War in 1835, and fell into ruins after that.[4] The municipality's population reached a peak of 872 in 1887, but has since steadily declined with the rest of the region to 209 in 2013.[5] Many archaeological remains from the Iberic, Greek and Roman periods have been found in the municipality.[4]

Culture

[edit]

The main festivals in Ciutadilla are that of Saint Roch on the second weekend of August, and its patron saint Saint Michael on 29 September.[4]
