Barcelona Province, Administrative province in Catalonia, Spain

The province stretches from the Mediterranean coast to the Pyrenees mountains, containing fertile plains, river basins, and dense forest regions across 7,728 square kilometers.

The territory gained administrative status in 1833 as part of Spain's provincial reorganization, marking a shift from its medieval structure as the County of Barcelona.

The province maintains two official languages, with residents conducting daily activities in both Spanish and Catalan, reflecting centuries of linguistic development.

The regional transportation network connects 311 municipalities through multiple highways, railways, and Barcelona-El Prat International Airport, serving 5.5 million inhabitants.

Salt extraction in Cardona Valley continues since Roman times, while potash deposits discovered in 1912 near Suria remain central to the province's mining sector.
