About Barcelona

Barcelona is the capital and the most populous city of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain, after Madrid, with a population of 1,621,537 within its extended city limits. The sixth-most populous urban area in the European Union after Paris, London, Ruhr area, Madrid and Milan, Barcelona is also Europe's largest metropolis on the Mediterranean coast.Today, Barcelona is one of the world's leading tourist, economic and cultural centres, and its influences in commerce, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.

Founded as a Roman city, Barcelona became the capital of the Counts of Barcelona. After merging with the Kingdom of Aragon, it became one of the most important cities of the Crown of Aragon. Besieged several times during its history, Barcelona is today an important cultural center and a major tourist destination with a rich cultural heritage.

Apache Lucene EuroCon 2011 is presented by Lucid Imagination, the commercial entity for Apache Solr/Lucene Open Source Search; proceeds of the conference benefit The Apache Software Foundation.
