A commune (comună in Romanian) is the lowest level of administrative subdivision in Romania.
Although cities are on the same administrative level as communes, their local governments are structured in a way that gives them more power.
Some urban or semi-urban areas of fewer than 10,000 inhabitants have also been given city status.
Communes, like cities, correspond to the European Union's level 2 local administrative unit (LAU).
Florești, in Cluj County, is the largest commune in Romania by population, with over 22,000 inhabitants.
