Łomża, Former royal city in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
Łomża is a town in eastern Poland, roughly 150 kilometers northeast of Warsaw, on the banks of the Narew River. The surroundings consist of flat plains and farmland that roll gently toward the horizon.
The town received municipal rights in 1428 and grew into an important political center during the 16th century, flourishing until Poland lost independence in 1795. After the partition, it experienced changing rule but became part of Poland again in the 20th century.
The wide avenues in the center and the shops along the main street show how residents shape their daily life, with cafés filling up in the afternoon. Parks along the Narew are used for walks and leisure, especially on weekends when families spend time there.
The center is easy to explore on foot, with streets lined by older buildings and leading to smaller squares. The river offers walking paths that work well for quiet breaks, especially in spring and summer.
The Cathedral of Saint Michael the Archangel shows Gothic construction with star vaulting over the nave and silver decorations above the central altar. These details catch the eye immediately upon entering and belong to the older preserved elements of the interior.
