This is a list of the municipalities of Portugal.
Portugal is divided into 18 districts (Portuguese: distritos) and 2 autonomous regions (regiões autónomas), Azores and Madeira.
The districts and autonomous regions are further subdivided into 308 municipalities of Portugal (municípios or concelhos).
Usually, a municipality is named after its largest or historically most important town or city.
Municipalities are typically much larger than the city or town after which they are named.
