Catalonia, Autonomous community in northeastern Spain.
The region covers 32,106 square kilometers between the Mediterranean Sea, Pyrenees Mountains, Aragon, and Valencian Community with Barcelona as its capital.
The Catalan counties unified between the 9th and 12th centuries under the House of Barcelona, forming a principality within the Crown of Aragon.
Catalan and Aranese Occitan are official languages alongside Spanish, reflecting the distinct identity of this Mediterranean region.
The region maintains a developed transportation network connecting the four provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona by highways and trains.
The Mossos d'Esquadra serve as Catalonia's autonomous police force, operating independently from Spanish national security forces.
