Freguesias are the smallest administrative divisions in Portugal, similar to parishes in other countries. They serve as sub-units within municipalities (municípios) and play a key role in local governance. Each freguesia has its own local governing body, which may include a president and other council members, responsible for managing community affairs, public services, and local development initiatives. Historically, freguesias were primarily religious divisions, but over time they have evolved into more secular administrative units.
