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.
