  • A parroquia (Spanish: [paˈrokja], Galician: [paˈrɔkjɐ], Asturian: [paˈrokja]) is a population entity or parish found in Galicia and Asturias in north-west Spain. They are entities with a territorial scope lower than municipality and have their own legal personality. They usually, but not always, coincide with the ecclesiastic divisions as they originated on pair with them. In Galicia there are 3771 parroquias, each comprising between three and fifteen or more villages. They developed over time as de facto entities up until Galician Statute of Autonomy of 1981 recognized them as territorial entities below the concello (municipality). In Asturias there are 857 parroquias integrating the 78 concejos or conceyos (municipalities) in the region. Parroquias origin has its roots on the Roman Catholic Church entry during Roman and late Roman empire, similar to the British parishes. From the late Roman empire on, a disperse network of parishes and private churches emerged. Those founded the base of a religious and social interaction network, with a clear administrative role over a territorial area too, that consolidated during X-XIII centuries. Since then, and in particular from 15th century on, the concept formed a very settled part of the popular consciousness and culture of Asturias and Galicia. Spanish reforms from the 18th century on tried to reduced their number unsuccessfully due to the hard root they have in these territories. The creation of Spanish municipalities, that started in 1835, vanished their function. With the entrance of democracy and creation of the autonomous communities in the 1980s, Asturian and Galician parishes were recognized legally as administrative divisions. (en)
