Gmina Limanowa

Gmina Limanowa is a rural municipality in Powiat limanowski in southern Poland with multiple settlements spread across the region. The landscape consists of agricultural areas and scattered villages forming a typical countryside structure.

The municipality was restructured in 1998 during Poland's administrative reforms and officially established as part of Powiat limanowski in 1999. This reorganization was part of a broader reworking of local government structures across the country.

Residents maintain traditional crafts and farming methods that are visible in local markets and community gatherings throughout the settlements. This connection to rural life shapes how people live and interact within the municipality.

The administrative center is located in Limanowa on the southeastern side of the region and serves as the main contact point. Exploring the various settlements is best done by car since public transportation connections are limited.

The territory belongs to the Lach ethnic region, a distinct cultural group with its own traditions that differ from neighboring mountain communities. This ethnic identity is reflected in local customs and ways of life.
