Brzesko, Administrative center in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Located 50 kilometers east of Kraków, Brzesko extends along both sides of the railway line connecting major cities in southern Poland.

Queen Jadwiga of Poland authorized Spytko II of Melsztyn to establish this settlement in 1385, marking the beginning of its municipal status.

The Gothic Church of St. Jacob, constructed in 1447, stands in the central market square and represents medieval religious architecture.

The town contains three military cemeteries from World War I, commissioned by the Austro-Hungarian Ministry of War, which are open to visitors.

The New Jewish Cemetery, established in 1846, preserves one thousand tombstones and maintains records of the former Jewish population.
