The district of Pla d'Urgell was created in 1988 for Generalitat of Catalonia, and it is constituted by 16 municipalities: Torregrossa, Bell-lloc of Urgell, Sidamon, Fondarella, Palau of Anglesola, Poal, Bellvís, Linyola, Miralcamp, Mollerussa, Vilanova of Bellpuig, Golmés, Vila-healthy, Castellnou of Seana, Ivars of Urgell and Barbens. Historically, he/she responds to the territories of the "fahs Maškigan", later well-known as the plain of Mascançà, conquered by the count from Barcelona in the third room of the XI century, that is to say, between the conquest of Tàrrega (1058) and the donation of the term castral of Anglesola for the count of Barcelona to Berenguer Gombau (1079). That the current district takes the name of Pla d'Urgell, populations that had been of the county including of Urgell and others that were not it, as Mollerussa, it is a fact that one has that to relate with a phenomenon that is documented from the XIV century and that you it denominates displacement of the toponimia, fruit of the existence of oneself physical and human landscape.

The district has a global surface of 304'49 square kilometers, and it is located in the sector western of Catalonia, inside the call Central Depression Catalan (depression of Ebro). It is lightly about a platform bowed in address toward the river Segre, with few accidents geographical that overcome the 50 meters of difference. The currents of it dilutes more important of Pla d'Urgell they are the channels and the canals. It is difficult to speak of rivers in the district, since they are of little bed. The river Corb circulates completely transformed, he/she comes from the província of Tarragona, and it lapses for the terms of Castellnou of Seana, Golmés, Vila-sana, Palau of Anglesola, Poal, Bellvís.

The climate is mediterranean with continental tendency of low earth. The winters are cold and long, the hot summers and of short duration. The scarce altitude and the it distances of the sea he/she makes that the summers are very warm, but those winters are very rigid, the half annual temperature is located I half-close at the 14º. But there are thermal strong oscillations seasonal and daily. The precipitations are scarce and irregular, with you mediate annual that are between the 350 and the 400 mm. The summer is the drier station, followed by the winter. The months less rainy they are almost always July and February. Between November and February he/she appears the fog that, sometimes, it can last whole weeks and it reduces the temperature. It is also necessary to highlight: the hailstorms that have ruined in occasions the crops; and the snowfalls, at some time spectacular, as that of the February of 1944.

The landscape is absolutely modified by the man's action, therefore it is difficult to say which was the spontaneous vegetation. Before one dominated vegetation of low undergrowths and dry grasses where those were taken lambs and goats when there were not cultivations: forests of cork oaks, some pine, bushes like the pomegranate trees, the blackberries; in those margins still find asparaguses, rúcula, thyme, camomile, and a great variety of flowers. With the arrival of the water of the channel of Urgell, another vegetation also arrived: chopos, elm trees, shade bananas, poplars, among other. Regarding the animals, there are goldfinches, swallows, crows, rooks, partridges, doves, turtledoves, sparrows, owls, lizards, foxes, hares or boars.
