Granollers, city, Barcelona provincia (province), in the comunidad autónoma (autonomous community) of Catalonia, northeastern Spain. It has many fine medieval houses and the 12th-century Gothic church of San Esteban. Called Granullaria (from the Latin word for grain) by the Romans because of its agricultural importance, Granollers became a self-governing commercial city in medieval times and played a major role in the 15th-century Catalan revolt against John II of Aragon. It suffered heavy bombing damage in 1938 during the Spanish Civil War. Granollers is a marketing and manufacturing centre that produces chemicals and textiles, though its economy was traditionally based on agriculture and cattle raising. Its industries have merged with those of Barcelona city. Pop. (2007 est.) mun., 58,854.
