About City
Barcelona is the capital city of the autonomous community of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. It is the second-largest city in the country after Madrid, with a population of over 1.6 million within the city limits and around 5 million in the metropolitan area. Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Serra de Collserola mountain range, Barcelona is renowned for its unique blend of modern urban charm and rich historical heritage. Founded as a Roman city in the 1st century BC, Barcelona has a long and complex history marked by Roman, Visigothic, Islamic, and Christian influences. It later emerged as a major Mediterranean port and an economic hub in the Middle Ages. The city's cultural identity is strongly tied to Catalan heritage, and it has been a center for Catalan nationalism and artistic movements, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries. Iconic figures like Antoni Gaudí and Pablo Picasso left lasting marks on the city.
Barcelona is internationally famous for its extraordinary architecture, particularly the works of Antoni Gaudí, whose masterpieces include the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà (La Pedrera). The city's Gothic Quarter preserves remnants of medieval buildings, narrow alleys, and charming plazas. Barcelona’s architectural diversity—ranging from Roman ruins to modernist marvels—makes it a magnet for tourists and art lovers from around the world. As one of Spain’s leading economic powerhouses, Barcelona has a highly diversified economy based on sectors like tourism, technology, industry, education, and finance. The city hosts major trade fairs and innovation events, such as the Mobile World Congress. It also ranks among the top startup hubs in Europe, supported by universities, research institutions, and government initiatives aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and digital transformation.
Barcelona is a top global tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors each year. With its sunny Mediterranean climate, vibrant street life, beaches, and world-class cuisine, the city offers a high quality of life. Cultural events like the Festa Major de Gràcia and Sant Jordi Day, along with global conferences, sports events, and music festivals, contribute to Barcelona’s dynamic atmosphere. The city's efficient transport system and international airport also make it a key gateway to southern Europe.
