Counties Of Lithuania: Largest administrative subdivision of Lithuania
The territory of Lithuania is divided into 10 counties (Lithuanian: singular apskritis, plural apskritys).
They all have the same name as after their capitals.
The counties are divided into 60 municipalities (Lithuanian: singular savivaldybė, plural savivaldybės): 9 city municipalities, 43 district municipalities and 8 municipalities.
Each municipality is then divided into elderates (Lithuanian: singular seniūnija, plural seniūnijos).
