Podgórze, Administrative district on the southern bank of Vistula River in Kraków, Poland.
The district extends across 24.6 square kilometers and contains several neighborhoods including Płaszów, Rybitwy, and Przewóz, with a population of 31,599 residents.
Emperor Joseph II granted Podgórze city status in 1784, making it an independent township until 1915 when it merged with Kraków as its thirteenth district.
Saint Joseph Church stands as a central religious monument in Podgórze, featuring architectural elements that represent the district's spiritual heritage through generations.
The district connects to central Kraków through multiple tram lines, bus routes, and pedestrian paths, making transportation accessible for residents and visitors.
The Krakus Mound on Lasota Hill remains the oldest structure in Podgórze, believed to serve as the burial site of Prince Krakus.
