Grodzisko Dolne, Agricultural village in Leżajsk County, Poland
Grodzisko Dolne is a village in the northeast of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship that spreads across meadows and farmland. The settlement lies in a flat area shaped by the Wisłok River, with smaller houses and agricultural fields that define the look of the place.
The settlement was founded in the 11th century and served as a defensive position in a border region for a long time. Archaeological finds point to human activity in the area many centuries before that.

The village is relatively small and can be explored on foot, with paths running through open countryside. Visitors should be prepared for rural conditions and bring appropriate clothing for changing weather.
