Urbanya (French pronunciation: [yʁbaɲa] ⓘ; Catalan: Orbanyà) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France.[3]
Geography
[edit]Urbanya is located in the canton of Les Pyrénées catalanes and in the arrondissement of Prades.[3]
History
[edit]Urbanya is mentioned for the first time on 16 June 1186, as being owned by the lord of Conat, on an act signed by Guillem-Bernard de Paracols, husband of Blanche de Conat.[4]
In September 1907, a rain and hailstorm falls on Urbanya, damaging and sometimes destroying the roads and bridges, as well with several houses.[5]
