Krosno, Industrial city in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland.

The city extends across sloping plains of the Lower Beskid mountain range, surrounded by forests of beech and white fir trees.

Founded in the 14th century, Krosno developed into a fortified center for trading cloth, linen, and Hungarian wine during medieval times.

The market square features buildings with connecting arcades from the 15th and 16th centuries, including the Burgomaster House built in 1525.

Krosno functions as the center of Poland's mineral-oil industry and maintains factories producing glass, textiles, and electrical machinery.

The regional museum displays artifacts from the first oil well in the world, marking the birthplace of the petroleum industry.
