The Liberal revolution of 1836, resulted in the suppression/annexation of many of these smaller municipalities, which allowed the infusion of new revenues and facilitated growth in population and size.<sup id="cite_ref-Silveira_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Silveira-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Geography">Geography</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Municipalities_of_Portugal&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Geography"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_municipalities_of_Portugal" title="List of municipalities of Portugal">List of municipalities of Portugal</a></div> <p>There are 308 municipalities in Portugal: 278 in <a href="/wiki/Continental_Portugal" title="Continental Portugal">mainland Portugal</a>, 19 in the <a href="/wiki/Autonomous_Regions_of_Portugal" title="Autonomous Regions of Portugal">autonomous region</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Azores" title="Azores">Azores</a>, and 11 in <a href="/wiki/Madeira" title="Madeira">Madeira</a>.
