Żary, Urban municipality in Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland
Located in western Poland, Żary extends across the Żary Plateau between the Bobr and Nysa Luzycka Rivers at an elevation of 160 meters.
First recorded in 1030, Żary received town rights in 1260 and remained under German control from 1815 until 1945, when it became part of Poland.
The Gothic Sacred Heart Church, dating from the 12th century, stands alongside the 13th-century Dewins-Packs-Bibersteins Castle and 18th-century Promnitzs Palace.
Two major roads, numbers 12 and 27, intersect in Żary, while the nearby A18 motorway connects the town to larger metropolitan areas.
The Green Forest area contains three distinct towers: a fire tower, an observation tower, and the Promitz Tower, offering various recreational opportunities.
