| PT: Portugal | 2 258 | | 1: Continente | 286 | | 2: Região Autónoma dos Açores | 547 | | 3: Região Autónoma da Madeira | 134 | | Maximum length East/ West (km) of territorial units by Geographic localization (NUTS - 2024); Annual - Directorate-General of Territorial Development | | Note(s): | | (1) Information included in the Official Administrative Map of Portugal (CAOP) is updated as often as new administrative units are established . Thus, this data may not match the figures published in previous years. The area and perimeter values were calculated from CAOP Geodatabase of the reference year, in PT-TM06-ETRS89 Reference System for mainland Portugal and PTRA08-UTM/ITRF93 for the autonomous regions of Açores and Madeira. The maximum lengths of the municipalities, NUTSIII and NUTSII on the mainland, correspond to the distance on the cartographic plane measured in the East-West and North-South directions. The maximum lengths for Portugal, Mainland, Autonomous Region of Madeira and Autonomous Region of the Açores, correspond to the ellipsoidal distance measured on the meridian arc between the latitudes of the extreme points to the North and South of each territorial unit, and the parallel arc, calculated at the average latitude of each territorial unit, between the longitudes of its eastern and western extremes. The administrative territorial unit criterion is applied, including cases in which the territorial unit is made of non-contiguous territories. |
