Geographically, Anglesola is situated in the flattest area of the region, with the small hill of Sant Pere being the only noticeable elevation. The municipality is crossed by the Canal d'Urgell, and its southern boundary is marked by the main road and the railway line connecting Barcelona to Lleida. The town is located just 6.5 km from Tàrrega, the regional capital, according to data referenced in 2022.
The history of Anglesola dates back to the medieval era. King Alfons I founded the Hospital d'Anglesola in the 12th century, later known as the Sant Martí hospital until 1886. Another key event was the foundation, in 1204, of a Trinitarian convent by the local lords, Berenguer d'Anglesola and Anglesa, along with Joan de Mata. This convent survived until the exclaustration in 1835.
Among the architectural heritage, the Parish Church of Sant Pau de Narbona stands out, a Gothic-Renaissance style temple built at the end of the 16th century over a previous Romanesque church. Inside, there is a 14th-century polychrome stone image of Sant Pau de Narbona, and the altarpieces of Santa Anna and the Santa Creu, which houses the relics known as the Santes Virtuts, are noteworthy.
Anglesola offers the possibility of taking excursions in horse-drawn carriages, touring historical paths and tasting local products.
The municipality also preserves remains of the ancient Anglesola Castle and several stately homes like Cal Gassol, which hosts an exhibition of old agricultural tools. The Museu del Carro (Carriage Museum) displays carriages that participate annually in the Festa dels Tres Tombs, serving as a central point for tourist routes that allow visitors to explore local history and traditions.
