TheGrand Duchy ofLuxembourg is divided intocantons, which group thecommunes (= municipalities). A dozen of the communes have official city status, and one, Luxembourg City, is unofficially further divided into quarters.
Luxembourg was divided into three districts until their abolition in October 2015:[1]
There are a total of 12 cantons, which were previously a subdivision of the districts but are now the first-level subdivision of Luxembourg:[1][2]
The communes (municipalities) are the lowest administrative division in Luxembourg. They were first created during theFrench Revolution.[1] As of 2020, there were 102 communes.[2]
12 communes have legal city status.Luxembourg City, the nation's capital, is the largest city in the country.[2]
Below the official administrative level of the commune,Luxembourg City has further unofficial administrative subdivisions, known asquarters. The twenty-four quarters[3] of Luxembourg City are ade facto subdivision without legal basis used to simplify public administration.[citation needed]
There are four electoralconstituencies of Luxembourg:Centre,East,North, andSouth.[1]
