Prats de Lluçanès (in Catalan; Valencian pronounced as /ˈpɾadz ðə ʎusəˈnɛs/) is a municipality in the comarca of Lluçanès in Catalonia, Spain. It is situated in the west of the comarca, on a plain between the Lluçanès and Merlès rivers, and is served by the C-154 road between Vic and Gironella.
In 2015, the municipality voted to join a proposed new comarca of Lluçanès, of which it would be the capital, but the plan was put on hold due to insufficient support.[3] Formerly part of Osona, it was finally incorporated into the new Lluçanès comarca in 2023, since then it has served as its capital.[4] [5]
