The twa municipalities (sing. município or concelho) o the Portuguese era, abolished in 2002, wur:
|

Coterminous wi the Macau Peninsula. Its seat wis kent as Cidade do (Santo) Nome de Deus de Macau an aw (= City of the (Holy) Name of God of Macau, full motto: Cidade do (Santo) Nome de Deus de Macau, Não Há Outra Mais Leal, lit. City of the (Holy) Name of God of Macau, None Is More Loyal) |
|
