Ostrołęka, Administrative center in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland

Located on the eastern bank of the Narew River, Ostrołęka extends across both sides of the waterway through a modern bridge constructed in 1995.

The city received its charter in 1373 and developed into a significant trading post, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries in the Kurpie Forest region.

The Center of Culture organizes the annual Days of Ostrołęka festival between May 12 and 26, featuring athletic competitions, concerts, and garden celebrations.

The city maintains several educational facilities, sports centers, and a stadium with 2,500 seats, along with tennis courts and an indoor swimming pool.

Ostrołęka's name appears on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, commemorating the Napoleonic battle that occurred in the city during 1807.
