Usage Note
Cultura covers both civilisational culture (la cultura española) and the cultivation of crops or bacteria in a scientific sense — context distinguishes them. Culto as an adjective means 'cultured, educated', not just 'cult'. The compound cultura general ('general knowledge') is a fixed phrase used in quiz contexts.
