Myślenice, Regional town in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

Myślenice is a town in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, situated around 30 kilometers south of Krakow. The settlement spans six districts with the Raba River running through its territory at an elevation of 654 meters.

The town was founded in the 13th century as a fortified settlement to protect the southern approaches to Krakow from outside threats. This defensive purpose shaped its early growth and regional importance.

The Church of St. James the Apostle from the 15th century forms a section of the Way of St. James pilgrimage route with classicist tombstones in surrounding cemeteries.

The Zarabie district offers multiple ski facilities, including the longest chairlift in the country, along with hiking and cycling trails open year-round. Visitors can enjoy outdoor recreation in every season.

The Greek House from the late 17th century stands as an architectural monument in the town center and reflects the historical presence of wealthy merchants. This building shows the cultural diversity that once defined the place.
