Counties 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).

This division was created in 1994 and slightly modified in 2000.
