Lesser Poland Voivodeship
Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Administrative region in southern Poland
The Lesser Poland Voivodeship extends from the hills near Kraków to the Tatra Mountains, encompassing 22 counties and three independent municipal cities.
This voivodeship emerged through administrative reforms in 1999, restructuring Poland's territorial organization from 49 smaller regions into 16 larger provinces.
The region maintains numerous medieval castles, Renaissance palaces, and traditional wooden churches, reflecting centuries of architectural development across southern Poland.
The public transportation network connects main cities through railway lines and bus services, with Kraków John Paul II International Airport serving international travelers.
Within this voivodeship lies the Wieliczka Salt Mine, featuring underground chambers, lakes, and chapels carved entirely from rock salt.
