Zawiercie, Industrial municipality in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.

Located in southern Poland, Zawiercie spans across 8,524 hectares of land near the source of the Warta River in the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.

The settlement expanded rapidly after 1847 when the Warsaw-Vienna railway was constructed, transforming from a small village into an industrial center with steel plants.

The town preserves architectural heritage through structures like the Saint Trinity Church from 1583 and the Saint Nicholas Church from the 16th century.

Zawiercie connects to major Polish cities through rail networks and lies 28 kilometers from Katowice International Airport in Pyrzowice.

The surrounding limestone mountains and rock formations make Zawiercie a central point for the largest climbing area in Poland.
