Garwolin, Administrative center in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland.

Garwolin stands on the Wilga River, 62 kilometers southeast of Warsaw, serving as the capital of Garwolin County with 17,566 residents.

The town received its city charter in 1423 and suffered severe damage during the Swedish invasion, with casualties exceeding 90 percent of the population.

The Centre of Sports and Culture Garwolanka and the Wilga cinema provide recreational activities for residents and visitors throughout the year.

The S17 expressway connects Garwolin to Warsaw and Lublin, while the railway station lies 5 kilometers west of the town center.

During the Polish-Soviet War in 1920, Marshal Józef Piłsudski visited Garwolin one day after Polish forces recaptured it from Russian control.
