Zalewo, Medieval municipality in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland.

Zalewo extends along the northern shore of Lake Ewingi, encompassing 8.22 square kilometers of land within the Iława County administrative region.

The municipality received its official town rights in 1305, following its establishment in 1299 as a settlement in the northern territories of Poland.

The Saint John the Evangelist church stands as a Gothic architectural example, while medieval town walls demonstrate the historical building techniques of the region.

The municipality maintains public transportation services, sports facilities, and a swimming pool, serving its population of approximately 3,000 residents.

During the November Uprising of 1831, Zalewo served as a transit point for Polish military units, including infantry, artillery, and engineering corps.
