Wadowice, Historical city in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
Located on the Skawa River, Wadowice sits at the foot of the Little Beskids mountain range at an elevation of 450 meters above sea level.
The settlement received city rights in 1430 based on Kulm law after a devastating fire prompted rapid reconstruction of the entire urban layout.
The Museum of the Holy Father Family Home preserves the birthplace of Karol Wojtyla, displaying personal artifacts and documents from his early years.
The town serves as a regional transportation hub, connecting major routes between Krakow and the mountain regions through railway and road networks.
