Lesko County

Lesko County is an administrative district in Subcarpathian Voivodeship spread across the southeastern region of Poland. It contains several small municipalities with Lesko serving as the main administrative center and reaches toward the Slovak border.

This border region has a long history as a settlement area and played an important role in cultural exchange between different peoples. The current administrative form of the district was established in 2002.

The area displays buildings from different religious traditions that reflect its mixed past. Visitors can find old churches and synagogues that show how different communities lived together here across the centuries.

The area is connected to surrounding regions through a network of roads that make traveling through the different communities straightforward. Lesko is the best starting point from which other smaller settlements can be easily reached.

Within the territory stand the ruins of a fortress from the 14th century, perched on a steep mountain overlooking the San River valley. These remains offer wide views across the landscape and show the strategic importance of the region in earlier times.
