Miechów, Administrative center in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

The town extends across 15 square kilometers along the Miechówka river, positioned 40 kilometers north of Kraków on European route E77.

Duke Jaksa of the House of Griffins established Miechów in 1163 by inviting monks of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre to settle in the region.

The Basilica and Monastery of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, founded in 1163, introduced religious practices and architecture that influenced local development.

The rail station in Miechów provides direct connections between Kraków and Warsaw, serving as a transportation hub for the surrounding region.

The Jewish cemetery on Powstańców Street, established in 1882, remains as a testament to the former Jewish community that comprised significant population until 1942.
