Source-derived summary

Gelida (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒəˈliðə]) is a town and municipality in the comarca of Alt Penedès, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

The town is built on a hillside above the Anoia river, the AP-7 motorway, and line 4 of the Barcelona commuter rail network. It is connected to its railway station via a funicular railway.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Gelida” as municipality of Spain. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Gelida, municipality and Spain.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 52-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Gelida, municipality and Spain providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Gelida”, the useful work is to connect “municipality of Spain” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q763729. VIAF identifies the subject as 136149213. The Library of Congress control number is n88128553. Authority coordinates are 41.441, 1.865. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
