The Basque Country (Basque Euskadi, Spanish País Vasco) is an autonomous community in northern Spain. It was granted the status of historical region within Spain with the Spanish Constitution of 1978. The capital is Vitoria-Gasteiz (Vitoria is the name in Spanish, Gasteiz in Basque) although the largest city is Bilbao.
The autonomous community of the Basque Country should not be confused with the larger historical Basque territory (Basque: "Euskal Herria") of which it is a component part.
