In 1976 Portugal was divided into eighteen districts on the mainland and two additional autonomous regions.
The districts are subdivided into 308 municipalities (concelhos) which in turn are divided into 4,261 local government authorities (freguesias).
The district system is currently being phased out and in accordance with the bailout negotiations that took place with the IMF, ECB and the European Commission, the government is obliged to reduce both the number of municipal and local parish governments which should be formalised before the local elections in 2013.
The Eighteen Districts are
Aveiro Beja Braga Bragança Castelo Branco Coimbra Evora Faro Guarda Leiria Lisbon Portalegre Porto Santarém Setúbal Viana do Castelo Vila Real
Two Autonimous Regions
Azores Madeira
