known as the Generalitat de Catalunya; of particular note are the executive branch,
the parliament and the Supreme Court of Catalonia. The city is also the capital
of the county (comarca) of the Barcelonès.
Barcelona's cultural roots
go back 2000 years. To a greater extent than the rest of Catalonia, where Catalonia's
native Catalan is more dominant, Barcelona is a bilingual city: Catalan and Spanish
are both official languages and widely spoken. The Catalan spoken in Barcelona,
Central Catalan, is the one closest to standard Catalan. Since the arrival of
democracy, the Catalan culture (very much repressed during the dictatorship) has
been promoted, both by recovering works from the past and by stimulating the creation
of new works. Barcelona is designated as a world-class city by the Globalization
and World Cities Study Group and Network.
