Municipalities of Libya

Baladiyah (singular) or baladiyat (plural), are Arabic words used in many Arab countries to denote administrative divisions of the country. In Libya, the baladiyat system was introduced in 1983 to replace the governorate system. Originally there were forty-six baladiyat,^[1] but in 1988 that number was reduced to twenty-five baladiyat.

In 1995 they were replaced by shabiyat.
