Information About

Freguesia




Each ''concelho'' can contain many ''freguesias'', but six contain only one: Alpiarça , Barrancos , Corvo , Porto Santo , São Brás De Alportel and São João Da Madeira . The ''concelho'' and ''freguesia'', in these six cases, are coterminous and share the same name. Entroncamento had only one ''freguesia'' until January 1 2004 , but it was then divided into two. Barcelos is the ''concelho'' with the most ''freguesias''; it has 89.

According to the Instituto Nacional De Estatística , there are 4,261 ''freguesias'' in Portugal.

The two concelhos of Macao are further divided into seven freguesias.
