Góra Kalwaria, Municipality in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland
The city stretches along the Vistula River, featuring a grid layout of streets that forms a Latin cross pattern across the landscape.
Bishop Stefan Wierzbowski established the town in 1670, designing it to mirror the topography of Jerusalem with religious buildings placed strategically throughout.
The town developed as a center for both Catholic pilgrimage sites and Hasidic Judaism, particularly known for the presence of the Ger dynasty.
Located 35 kilometers southeast of Warsaw, the municipality includes 38 villages and maintains direct transportation connections to the capital city.
The municipality operates a swimming facility that has served the community for 23 years and currently focuses on implementing energy-efficient solutions.
