Pilzno

Pilzno is a town in Subcarpathian Voivodeship located where two national roads meet and intersect. The settlement spreads along the Wisłoka River, with its medieval market square and Gothic church forming the heart of the community.

King Casimir III the Great granted Magdeburg rights to the town in 1354, establishing it as a royal center in Sandomierz Voivodeship. This charter marked the beginning of its growth as an administrative and trading center in the region.

The Gothic church of Saint John the Baptist stands as the focal point of the medieval market square, reflecting the town's spiritual life across centuries. Inside, a painting of Our Lady of Consolation remains a place where visitors can sense the continuity of local devotion.

The town sits at the intersection of national roads 73 and 94, making it easily accessible from larger cities in the region. Visitors will find a walkable place with a clear structure centered around the historic market square.

Benedictine monks from Tyniec monastery settled in the area during the early reign of Casimir III and left traces of their spiritual presence. A papal document from the early 12th century records this early monastic community at this location.
