Ciężkowice, Historical city in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland
Ciężkowice extends along the banks of the Biała river within the Ciężkowice Foothills, featuring sandstone formations and traditional architecture throughout its territory.
The settlement received Magdeburg rights in 1348 from King Kazimierz Wielki, establishing itself as a trading center between Hungary and Kraków during medieval times.
The St. Andrew parish church, constructed in 1358, contains an Ecce Homo painting that came as a gift from Pope Innocent XI to the local community.
Regional road 977 provides access to the town, while a rail station connects travelers to Tarnów and continues south toward the Slovak border at Leluchów.
The Petrified City Nature Reserve presents geological formations of Ciężkowice sandstone, including structures named Town Hall and Lower Fortress spread across 14.91 hectares.
