Municipalities and parishes of Macau
The following is a list of the seven parishes of Macau, also known in Portuguese as freguesias (sing. freguesia). Under Portuguese rule, they were administrative subdivisions of the municipalities. After the 1999 handover to China, they are still officially recognized divisions but for symbolic reasons only.

Note: The civil parishes are purely symbolic. There are currently no political administrative subdivisions in Macau, and instead, the Municipal Affairs Bureau handles some of the functions formerly handled by the abolished municipalities, the former had replaced the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau that was formed in 2002. | ||||||
