Encyclopedic overview
The Balearic Islands are an archipelago in the western Mediterranean Sea, near the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula. The archipelago forms a province and autonomous community of Spain. Palma de Mallorca is its capital and largest city.
Formerly part of the Kingdom of Majorca, the islands were made a province in the 19th century provincial division, which in 1983 received a Statute of Autonomy. In its 2007 reform, the Statute designated the Balearic Islands as one of Spain's nationalities. The Balearic Islands' official languages are Catalan and Spanish.
