Silesian Voivodeship, Administrative region in southern Poland.
The Silesian Voivodeship encompasses 36 districts across 12,333 square kilometers, featuring mountains in the south and industrial centers around Katowice.
Following Poland's territorial reorganization in 1999, the region merged the former administrative divisions of Katowice, Częstochowa, and Bielsko-Biała into one voivodeship.
The Jasna Góra Monastery in Częstochowa holds the Black Madonna painting and receives millions of Catholic visitors each year from across Poland.
The region contains 19 cities with district rights and maintains extensive railway connections through the Upper Silesian Railway Company network.
The Eagle Nests Trail features medieval fortifications built on limestone rocks, connecting multiple castles across the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland.
