Przemyśl, Border city in southeastern Poland.

The city extends across both sides of the San River, where the Carpathian Mountains meet the Sandomierz Basin at an elevation of 200 meters.

The settlement started as a fortress on a trade route through the Carpathians, becoming a contested territory between Poland and Ruthenia in the 10th century.

The population of 58,721 residents includes a mix of Polish, Ukrainian, and other cultural influences, reflecting its position near the Ukrainian border.

The railway station connects travelers directly to major Polish cities and serves as a primary transit point for crossing between Poland and Ukraine.

The Przemyśl Fortress, constructed in the 19th century, ranks among the largest military fortification complexes built in Europe.
