Brive-la-Gaillarde is a commune of France. It is a sub-prefecture of the Corrèze department. It has around 50,000 inhabitants, while the population of the urban area was 89,260 in 1999.

From around the 5th century onwards, the original city began to develop around a church dedicated to Saint-Martin-l’Espagnol. During the 12th century walls were built around the city and during the Hundred Years’ War a second wall was built. These fortifications no longer exist and have been replaced by boulevards.
