B a r c e l o n a is a progressive, industrial, middle-class and European city, while at the same time being traditionalist, popular, typically Mediterranean and having a pleasant climate. This dichotomy between tradition and progress is a characteristic of both the city and it's nearly two million inhabitants.
Barcelona stands on a plain that slopes gently down from the Sierra de Collserola (with it highest mountain, Mount Tibidabo,at 512m) to the sea. The City's civic and political centre is situated in the square known as Plaça de Sant Jaume, where the palaces of the Generalitat and the Town Hall stand. The management of the city is under the control of this latter, all-powerful institution.
T he other palace, ie. of the Generalitat, is the seat of the government of the Catalan Autonomous Community. At present, Catalonia has about 6 million inhabitants. It started life as a ´march´ at the time of Charlemagne (9C), when this area came out of its long prehistoric past of Iberian tribes, colonisation by the Phoenicians and Greek, Roman domination, the invasion of the Goths, and finally the Arabs, who were the reason why the Franks decided to set up a border-defence area. As a result, a new country was born on both sides of the eastern sector of the Pyrenees. With the passing of time, and thanks to Barcelona, this country, composed of different counties, became first independent and then, following the union of Catalonia and Aragon, became a kingdom with Barcelona as its capital. Towards the end of the 15C, Catalonia and Aragon joined up with the kingdom of Castile and, at the beginning of the 18C, were absorbed under the Spain of the bourbons, thus losing their independence. It was at this time when Barcelona, thanks to its commercial and manufacturing drive, became the most modern city in the country. Its independent past and modernity were to determine, from that moment onwards, the ambiguous character of this Mediterranean city.
