Parishes

Lagos is presently composed by four parishes, but historically it had six. This was due to an administrative reorganization in 2013. The list below contains the historical ones, as well as some useful genealogical information. The patron saint is also included as paroquial records sometimes use it as a synonym for the parish's name.
