Racławice, Historical village in Lesser Poland, Poland

Racławice sits on the Miechow Highland near the Racławka River, 37 kilometers northeast of Kraków in southern Poland's agricultural terrain.

The village gained recognition as the site of a major battle in 1794, where Polish forces led by Tadeusz Kościuszko defeated Russian troops.

The Saint Peter and Paul Church, constructed in 1778, stands as a central religious monument in the village alongside the Kościuszko Mound.

The village serves as the administrative center of Gmina Racławice municipality within Miechów County, managing local government services.

Every year after April 23, residents organize a 'Peasant of the Year' competition featuring traditional costumes and rural skill demonstrations.
