History
Castelló de Farfanya is home to remains of a medieval castle owned by the Counts of Urgell. In 2023, the city council of the municipality announced it would be seeking funding for the restoration of the castle.[3]
In 2018, the municipal government ordered the removal of a local monument commemorating Julià Babia i Poble Lliure, a militant who was a member of the Movement for Defence of the Land (MDT). The order came following judicial decisions that concluded the monument glorified terrorism.[4]
Government
The current mayor of Castelló de Farfanya is Omar Noumri i Coca, a member of the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC).[5] First elected in 2019, he is the first mayor in Catalonia with a Muslim and Maghrebi background.[6]
