The Provincial Deputation of Barcelona (Catalan: Diputació Provincial de Barcelona; Spanish: Diputación Provincial de Barcelona) is the local body charged with the government and administration of the province of Barcelona, Spain.
Being the biggest provincial deputation in Spain,[1] it is the third biggest public institution in Catalonia after the Generalitat and the Barcelona City Council,[2] managing a yearly budget around €1000M.[3][4] As is the case for all provincial councils, the Council is indirectly elected, based on the results of the municipal elections in the province.[1] The president is elected among the Council's members meet for the inaugural session after the municipal elections.
The Council's headquarters is the Casa Serra,[5] at the Rambla de Catalunya.
