Catalonia Catalonia (Catalan: Catalunya, Occitan: Catalonha, Spanish: Cataluña)[c] is an autonomous community of Spain located on the northeastern extremity of the Iberian Peninsula. It is one of Spain's eight communities which are designated as a nationality by their Statute of Autonomy.[d][7] Catalonia consists of four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. The capital and largest city is Barcelona, the second-most populated municipality in Spain and the core of the seventh most populous urban area in the European Union. Catalonia comprises most of the territory of the former Principality of Catalonia (with the remainder Roussillon now part of France's Pyrénées-Orientales). It is bordered by France and Andorra to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the east, and the Spanish autonomous communities of Aragon to the west and Valencia to the south. The official languages are Catalan, Spanish, and the Aranese dialect of Occitan.[8]
FC Barcelona in European football Barcelona has won the now defunct UEFA Cup Winners' Cup four times and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup three times, which is more than any other club for both trophies.[1][2] They also took part in the Latin Cup twice as champions of Spain, winning on both occasions, a record shared with Real Madrid and Milan. Though they did not manage to win the European Cup, now the UEFA Champions League, during the early years of the competition, they have since won the trophy five times, with their first win in 1992.[3]
