High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ul is a Portuguese urban civil parish (freguesia) in the municipality of Oliveira de Azeméis, Portugal. It is one of the Portuguese civil parishes with shortest names. Freguesia is the Portuguese term for civil parish, a secondary local administrative unit in Portugaland in the former Portuguese Empire, and a former secondary local administrative unit in Macau. A "freguesia" is a subdivision of a "concelho" or "município", the Portuguese synonym terms for municipality. Most often, a civil parish takes the name of its seat, which is usually the most important (or the single) human agglomeration within its area; in cases where the seat is itself divided into more than one civil parish, each one takes the name of a landmark within its area or of the patron saint from the usually coterminous Catholicparish ("paróquia" in Portuguese). Each civil parish is administered by a "Junta de Freguesia", drawn from a publicly elected four-year-term "Assembleia de Freguesia". ... Read more
