Sieniawa

Sieniawa is a picturesque town located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship, in the valley of the Lower San River. Although the first settlements existed here as early as the Lusatian culture period, the town was officially founded in 1672 on the initiative of Mikołaj Sieniawski. Historically tied to the Principality of Halych, Sieniawa changed owners multiple times, and in the 18th century, it became the property of the Czartoryski family, who contributed to its cultural development. In addition to architectural treasures such as the Czartoryski Palace and Park Complex and the Parish Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary from 1754, Sieniawa has a rich history. In the 19th century, the palace was a venue for intellectual gatherings, hosting figures like Tadeusz Kościuszko. During World War II, the town experienced tragic events related to the Jewish ghetto. Modern-day Sieniawa is a town with a strong sporting tradition, particularly in football, and significant cultural heritage, including religious communities and the Falconry tradition. Sieniawa blends history, architecture, and culture, making it an important landmark in the region.
