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.

The Caretos tradition continues in the region, where participants dress in wool costumes and masks during carnival celebrations, maintaining ancient local customs.

The municipality contains multiple museums, including the Municipal Archaeological Museum and Sacred Art Museum, which present exhibitions about regional history and religious artifacts.

The territory includes the Geopark Terras de Cavaleiros, featuring geological formations that document hundreds of millions of years of Earth's history.
