 Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 1 January 2005, ownership of the non-electrified broad-gauge line from Lleida to La Pobla de Segur passed from RENFE to FGC.
This is the most run down line in Catalonia - the stretch from Lleida to Balaguer was upgraded (using second-hand track) in the recent past, but from Balaguer northwards the track is in an appalling state.
There are even plans to extend the line to the Pyrenees and possibly on to connect with railways in France - the original plan for the line when it was built, but never carried out.

 Museu de la Noguera - el museu
The continuing struggle between the noble estate and the count, as well as the rebellions of nobles against the royal power, at the head of which was the count of Urgell, were to mark the political history of the county between the 13th and 14th centuries.
Balaguer was the residence of the counts, a fact which granted it a category comparable with a county capital, despite the fact that the growing power of the barons had implied the appearance of a series of regional capitals such as Agramunt, Castelló, Ponts and Linyola.
The Treaty of Casp and the rebellion of Count Jaume II, known as the Unlucky, against king Ferran I, called of Antequera, in the year 1413, finally resulted in the siege by the count of the city of Balaguer and the destruction of its residence as a symbol of its defeat.
