Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Catalan:; Spanish: Santa Coloma de Gramanet, no longer official), informally simply known as Santa Coloma, and formerly as Gramenet de Besòs (Spanish: Gramanet del Besós) between 1936 and 1939, is a municipality in the comarca of Barcelonès in the province of Barcelona in the autonomous community of Catalonia in Spain. It is situated on the south-east side of the coastal range, with the Puig Castellar (299 m) as its highest point, on the left bank of the Besòs river: the municipalities of Sant Adrià de Besòs and Badalona separate it from the coast. With a population of 123,250, it is the 9th-largest city in Catalonia and the 55th-largest city in Spain.
The area has been inhabited since at least the Iberic period, and the remains of an Iberic village have been found on
Puig Castellar. The artefacts are housed in a museum in La Torre Balldovina, a building dating from the 18th century.
Other notable buildings include the renaissance palace of La Torre Pallaresa and the noucentista
Clínica Mental.
In November 2008, the city made worldwide news by installing solar panels on top of crypts in the local cemetery, in an effort to help fight climate change.
