This image may enlarge if clicked



A Question was asked about Lithuania's political structure - how it is subdivided. Here is a map of Lithuania's 60 Cities and Towns. There are 9 Cities and 51 Towns governed by a Mayor.

.Miestas is a City. Miestelis is a town. Rajonas is used, which is a town.

.Within a Town there are sub units, villages. A village - kaimas.

. Some words like rajonas, miestas, miestelis, kaimas have multi uses making translation difficult. The proper translation depends on the usage of the word.
