Lesko, Historical municipality in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland

Located near the San River valley at 390 meters elevation, Lesko extends across the ridges of the Sanok-Turczan mountain range in southeastern Poland.

The territory came under Austrian Empire control following the First Partition of Poland in 1772 and remained so until Poland regained independence in 1918.

The Jewish cemetery, established in 1611, contains numerous stone monuments and serves as a testament to the former Jewish population of 2,425 residents in 1890.

The town functions as an administrative center of Lesko County, managing five gminas with a total population of 26,532 across 834 square kilometers of territory.

The restored 17th-century synagogue now operates as an art gallery, displaying collections from European artists within its preserved architectural structure.
