Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, Industrial center in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland.

The municipality spans 46.4 square kilometers along the Kamienna River, with northern districts in the Iłża Foothills and southern areas in the Opatów Upland.

In 1597, Jakub Gawroński established the settlement on the left bank of the Kamienna River, which received its town charter from Janusz Ostrogski in 1613.

The Municipal Cultural Centre facilitates numerous activities while the Museum of History and Anthropology preserves local heritage through exhibitions and educational programs.

The city maintains direct transportation connections to major regional centers including Kielce and Radom through an integrated network of roads and railways.

The nearby Krzemionki Prehistoric Striped Flint Mining Region, recognized by UNESCO, contains preserved Neolithic mining structures dating back 6000 years.
