Biała, Historic town in Opole Voivodeship, Poland

Biała spans across the fertile Biała Uplands at the meeting point of the Biała river, surrounded by agricultural lands and regional forests.

The settlement received its town rights in 1311 and functioned as a trade connection between the major medieval cities of Kraków and Nysa.

The architecture of Biała combines Polish and German building styles, reflecting centuries of mixed cultural influences in this border region.

The town maintains regular bus connections to neighboring cities within Opole Voivodeship and provides access to essential municipal services for 2,336 residents.

In 1699, the town established special commercial rights for Jewish merchants, leading to substantial demographic changes throughout the 18th century.
