Like all municipalities of Puerto Rico, Dorado is subdivided into administrative units called barrios, which are, in contemporary times, roughly comparable to minor civil divisions, [1] (and means wards or boroughs or neighborhoods in English).
Located across the central plaza in Dorado barrio-pueblo is the Parroquia San Antonio de Padua (English: Church San Antonio de Padua of Dorado), [10] named after Portuguese Catholic priest Saint Anthony of Padua. The church was built from 1826 throughout July 1848.
Dorado is located in Puerto Rico's Northern Karst region. Much of its geology consists of alluvial and coastal/estuarine sediments of Quaternary age and limestones of Tertiary age. [ 111 ] The limestones are mostly in the south part of the municipality, in Espinosa , Maguayo and Rio Lajas barrios.
