____ cittá

Explanation
The given answer "la" is correct because it is the feminine singular form of the definite article in Italian. In Italian, nouns are categorized as either masculine or feminine, and the definite article must agree with the gender and number of the noun it precedes. Since "cittá" is a feminine singular noun, it requires the feminine singular definite article "la" before it.
