The municipality is located in the interior of Catalonia, 23 km east of the provincial capital. Moyerusa is a town with agrarian and industrial economy based on the production and processing of cereal, pasta, flour, pork.

The traditional core of the city retains the structure of the old settlement, with the main square in the center, where famous landmarks can been seen , like the small Chapel of St. Isidore from the 16 century  and the church, built by Isidro Puig Boadilla in 1950, with its high external bell tower.

The modern land was initially limited by the railway Lerida-Barcelona and by the cannel Urhel but the growth of the population has taken it outside these limits. Because of the population growth, urban expansion, industrial and commercial development, agricultural wealth and the important geographical position in 1975 Moyerusa became town pursuant to the Royal Decree of 24 April 1082.

A famous landmark of Moyerusa is the Museum of the paper dresses, and some of the events organized in the municipality include traditional carnival, national competition for paper dresses, the feast of St. John and others.
