Agramunt is a municipality (municipi) in the comarca of the Urgell in Catalonia. It is situated in the north of the comarca, near the border with the Noguera. It has a population of 5,653 (register office, 2025). The town centre is protected as a historic-artistic monument, especially the Roman church of Santa Maria which dates from the 12th-13th centuries. The town is also known for the production of torró d'Agramunt, a sort of confectionery traditionally eaten at Christmas. The town is linked to Tàrrega by the C-240 road, to Cervera by the L-303 road and to Artesa de Segre by the L-302 road. The Urgell canal passes through the municipality, crossing the Montclar range through a tunnel. The municipality includes the exclave of Montclar d'Urgell to the north-west.
Historically, a Jewish community existed during medieval times. In 1272, Shlomo ibn Aderet mediated a dispute between the Jewish communities of Agramunt and Lérida. The Jewish and muslim communities were expelled in the 1492 expulsion of the Jews. In the 1980s, a street in the historical Jewish quarter, also called a Call (the term is thought to have originated from the word kahal in Hebrew, meaning "community"), was renamed to "carrer del Call," or "Street of the Call."
