Kielce, Administrative center in Świętokrzyskie Province, Poland
The capital of Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship stands at 260 meters above sea level, surrounded by limestone mountains and five nature reserves along the Silnica River.
The settlement received municipal rights in 1360, developing from a religious center with the construction of the Palace of Kraków Bishops into an industrial hub.
The National Museum, housed in the 17th-century bishops' palace, displays period furniture, paintings, and decorative arts representing Polish aristocratic life.
The Targi Kielce exhibition center hosts numerous trade shows throughout the year, while Sienkiewicza Street provides shopping and dining options near the train station.
The Museum of Toys and Play contains an extensive collection of playthings from different periods, making it the largest institution of this type in Poland.
