It is located by the river [[Cinca River (Spain)|Cinca]]. According to the 2014 [[census]],<ref>[[Instituto Nacional de Estadística (Spain)|Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE)]]</ref> the municipality has a population of 14,926 inhabitants. King [[Alfonso I of Aragon]] died at its walls in 1134 while trying to conquer it during the [[Battle of Fraga]]. It was conquered from the [[Moors]] by the Count [[Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona|Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona]] in 1149. The local language, called ''Fragatí'', is western [[Catalan language|Catalan]]. Historically, there was a [[Jewish]] community in Fraga. Jews in Fraga enjoyed civil rights under Muslim rule, which was not always the case in other historical Spanish Jewish communities. They were given autonomy, including the right to defend themselves against attacks and the right to elect their representatives. The community ceased to exist due to the [[expulsion of the Jews from Spain|expulsion of the Muslims and Jews]] in 1492.<ref>{{cite web |title=Fraga |url=https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/fraga |website=Jewish Virtual Library |access-date=28 June 2024}}</ref>
