Llivia

Spain

Llívia is a town in the comarca of Cerdanya, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. It has a population of 1,562. The town is named after Livia, the wife of Augustus and matriarch of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.

Llívia is a Spanish exclave surrounded by the French département of Pyrénées-Orientales. Its status dates to a technicality in the Treaty of the Pyrenees, signed in 1659, which transferred only "villages" in the Pyrenees to France; because Llívia was a "town", it remained under Spanish control.

The Segre river, a tributary of the Spanish Ebro, flows through Llívia.
