Macedo de Cavaleiros, Administrative division in Bragança, Portugal
The municipality of Macedo de Cavaleiros extends across 699 square kilometers of varied terrain between the Terra Fria and Terra Quente regions of northeastern Portugal.
In 1853, Macedo de Cavaleiros gained municipal status through the consolidation of territories from the administrative regions of Chacim and Cortiços.
