The largest of Galicia's 224 recorded places, ranked by population — 2,494,451 people across the region's towns and cities.
The essentials
Vigo is the largest place we record in Galicia, with 293,642 residents. The three largest together hold 26% of the 2,494,451 people counted across the region's recorded towns and cities. That total sums listed places rather than measuring the region itself, so treat it as coverage, never as an official population.

GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are
UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such.
