Riu de Cerdanya

Riu (officially Riu de Cerdanya in Catalan) is a municipality in the province of Lleida, within the autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain. It is located in the southern part of the comarca of Baixa Cerdanya, bordering the province of Girona.

The municipality was established in 1997 following its separation from Bellver de Cerdanya, to which it had been annexed in 1973.

Despite the establishment of Riu as an independent municipality, it is believed that Hannibal may have crossed this area during his advance toward the Pyrenees, as part of his campaign to reach Rome by traversing the great European mountain ranges. This is one of the hypotheses considered, although no Roman or Carthaginian remains have been found in the locality.
