What are the Districts of Portugal?

Mainland Portugal is divided into 18 districts. This quiz also includes the Atlantic island groups of the Azores and Madeira.

  • The districts were created in 1835 in a liberal reform, each headed by a civil governor.
  • The 1976 constitution made the Azores and Madeira autonomous regions with their own governments.
  • The mainland districts have lost most of their role, especially since the civil governors were abolished in 2011.
  • They are still used as election constituencies and as a familiar way of dividing the country.

Current quiz contains 20 districts: Aveiro, Azores, Beja, Braga, Bragança, Castelo Branco, Coimbra, Faro, Guarda, Leiria, Lisboa, Madeira, Portalegre, Porto, Santarém, Setúbal, Viana do Castelo, Vila Real, Viseu, Évora.
