Fraga

Fraga stands on the Cinca, overlooking the irrigated land along its banks. The river was disputed as a boundary between Aragon and Catalonia, and the town’s place in their jurisdictions was contested in the later Middle Ages. In 1642, during the Catalan revolt, Philip IV came to Fraga to direct royal forces near the Aragonese front after the loss of Lleida to the Franco-Catalan army.
