The origin of the stable settlement of Tárrega corresponds to the time of Muslim rule, when the castle and the walls were built in the 10th century. In the middle of the 11th century, the Count of Barcelona Ramón Berenguer I conquered his castle from the Muslims. 4 Its strategic location favored growth during the Middle Ages, especially until the 14th century.
Most of the important buildings, such as the church of San Antonio, the town hall or the church of Carmen, were built during the 17th century, a period of Gothic influence .
The 19th century saw the inauguration of the Manresa-Tárrega- Lérida railway line (1862), the granting of the title of city by Alfonso XII (1884), the beginnings of construction of a series of basic infrastructures such as electricity and telephone, and the development of county roads.
