Tarnów, Medieval city in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland.

The city extends near the confluence of Biała and Dunajec rivers, featuring Renaissance buildings and a central Market Square with historic tenements.

The fortified settlement, established in 1330 by the Tarnowski family, developed into a significant trade center during the Polish Golden Age.

The State Theatre of Ludwik Solski and Museum of Tarnów Land preserve regional traditions through exhibitions and performances since 1957.

The railway junction connects Kraków to Lviv, while the local economy centers on chemical industries, food production, and textile manufacturing.

Before World War II, Tarnów maintained the largest Jewish population percentage in Poland, with garment manufacturing as their primary economic activity.
