Baucau

The administrative post of Baucau is divided into 11 villages (sucos).

Much of the infrastructure of the city was damaged or destroyed during the violence that followed the referendum for independence in 1999.

Baucau is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Baucau, one of the three bishoprics in Timor-Leste.

Cakung Airport, located six kilometers from the city, has the country's longest airport runway.

The Instituto Católico para a Formação de Professores is responsible for training future and untrained teachers for Timor-Leste.
