Tírvia (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈtiɾβia]) is a village in the province of Lleida and autonomous community of Catalonia, Spain. Earliest documentation of settlement in the area dates back to the tenth century. The town suffered a large fire in 1553, which killed 160 people, more than the contemporary population of the municipality.
