history

Until the transfer of sovereignty over Macau to the People's Republic of China in 1999, the local government consisted of the local council ( Portuguese Câmara Municipal ) as the executive body and the local assembly ( Portuguese Assembleia Municipal ), which formed the legislature as parliament . After 1999, this structure was initially retained with the Provisional Municipal Council ( Portuguese Câmara Municipal Provisória ) and the Provisional Municipal Assembly ( Portuguese Assembleia Municipal Provisória ). On December 31, 2001, the local governments of the two municipalities in the Special Administrative Region were dissolved and merged in the Instituto para os Assuntos Cívicos e Municipais. Its seat is the former parish hall of the Concelho de Macau, the Loyal Senate .
