Łomża, Former royal city in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland

Located on the banks of the Narew River, Łomża sits 150 kilometers northeast of Warsaw in a region characterized by rolling plains and agricultural lands.

The city received municipal rights in 1428 and developed into a major political center during the 16th century until Poland lost independence in 1795.

The Cathedral of Saint Michael the Archangel displays Gothic architecture with star vaulting over the nave and silver decorations above the central altar.

Modern Łomża maintains a strong manufacturing sector, with food processing plants and the Łomża Brewery contributing substantially to the local economy.

The city houses multiple educational institutions that consistently achieve high scores in national examinations, continuing a tradition dating back to 15th-century Jesuit schools.
