Góra Birów, Medieval royal stronghold near Podzamcze, Poland.

Góra Birów is a mountain featuring a reconstructed wooden settlement and multiple observation points across the Cracow-Czestochowa upland. The location offers views over the landscape and insight into early settlement patterns of the region.

People lived at this location since the Stone Age, and archaeological finds show that tools were manufactured here. The site later developed into a medieval stronghold with strategic importance for early Polish rule.

The settlement reflects early habitation patterns of this region, and visitors can observe how people lived here across different periods. The buildings and displays show how daily life changed from prehistoric times through the medieval era.

A visit is organized for groups, and there are information boards and displays in the buildings on site. The best time to explore is in dry weather, as the mountain has steep paths.

The mountain was inhabited across different ages, and on the grounds visitors find traces of prehistoric activity alongside medieval structures. This layering of epochs makes the place a living window into human settlement of this area.
