A municipality (municipiu in Romanian) is a level of administrative subdivision in Romania. This status is given to cities that are quite large and urbanised. There is no clear benchmark regarding the status of municipality, even though it applies to localities which have a sizeable population, usually above 15,000. Localities which do not meet these loose guidelines are classified as cities, or if they are not urban areas, as communes. Municipalities are governed by a mayor. There are no official administrative subdivisions of municipalities, even though, unofficially, municipalities may be grouped in quarters/districts (cartiere in Romanian).
In English, the Romanian municipiu is often translated as city, town or "city-status locality".
