Suwałki, Administrative center in northeastern Poland

Suwałki sits at an elevation of 170 meters along the Czarna Hańcza River, surrounded by forests and lakes of the Podlaskie region.

The settlement developed from a Camaldolese monks' hermitage in 1682, receiving official town rights from King Augustus II in 1715.

The Regional Museum in Suwałki exhibits religious artifacts from the 16th and 17th centuries, representing the area's historical development through centuries.

The city maintains a Special Economic Zone that focuses on food processing, lumber milling, textile manufacturing, and construction materials production.

The strategic location between Belarus, Lithuania, and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad creates a corridor known as the Suwałki Gap.
