Llívia

Also known as Iulia Libica

Llívia is a Spanish town in the Cerdanya valley entirely surrounded by French territory, an exclave of Catalonia. As Iulia Libica it was the Roman centre of the Cerretani and the old capital of Cerdanya. It stayed Spanish after the Treaty of the Pyrenees of 1659, which ceded only villages to France, because it was held to be a town. Its pharmacy, dating from the 15th century, is among the oldest in Europe.
