Tyczyn, Medieval town in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland

Located in the lower Carpathian foothills, Tyczyn stands on a hill with the Strug River flowing along its northern border at 221 meters elevation.

King Casimir III of Poland granted permission to Moravian merchant Bartold Tyczner to establish the town in 1368 within the former royal forest.

The town maintains weekly markets and annual fairs, continuing a tradition that dates back to the 19th century when eleven annual fairs were held.

Tyczyn functions as a suburb of Rzeszów, positioned approximately eight miles south of the regional capital, providing convenient access to urban amenities.

The Social-Economic High School serves as an educational institution, contributing to the development of the town's population of 3,353 residents.
