"Freguesia" is a term used primarily in Portugal and some of its former colonies to refer to a civil parish or administrative district. Historically, it originated as a religious designation associated with a church or religious community, but over time it has evolved into a secular administrative unit. In Portugal, a freguesia is typically the smallest administrative division, serving various local governance functions, such as managing local services and community needs.
