The Culture of Spain traces back to Iberian and Latin influences. The Spanish Culture is shaped by the history of the nation, its Mediterranean climate and its geography. This enriching culture of Spain has lots to offer. Spain produced some of the most beautiful architectural structures of the world. The historical buildings which stood the test of time are now designated World Heritage sites. Several architectural structures include Roman aqueduct, Merida, Roman bridge over the River Guadiana, an arch of Trajan, and an amphitheatre. The architecture in Southern Spain reflects its Moorish history like Alhambra. Several mosques and synagogues are exquisite work of architecture.

A deep sense of regional identity exists in many regions of Spain and these nationalities have contributed heavily to many aspects of mainstream Spanish culture. Several communities at Andalusia, Asturias, Navarre and Valencia have their own version of nationalism.

While nearly everyone in Spain can speak Spanish, other languages figure prominently in many regions such as Basque in the Basque Country and Navarre, Catalan in Catalonia and Galician in Galicia. Spanish is the official language throughout the country; the rest of these have co-official status in their respective regions and all are major enough, so that there are numerous daily newspapers in these languages.

The success of the Basques in maintaining a separate culture over a period of millennia has doubtless been aided by the mountainous geography of their region. Several parts of Spain have strong maritime traditions, including inland ports on rivers.

Because many of its historical buildings have remained intact till this day, several architectural structures in Spain, and even portions of cities, have been designated as World Heritage Sites. As Spain was a part of the Roman Empire, Roman architectural remnants could be found all over.
