With an area of 97,6 Sq. Km. and population of about 173,000 it is one of the largest cities in this region.

Archaeological evidence indicates that Rzeszów, before receiving the Localisation Act, used to be a large settlement centred on what is today called the Old Town (Antiqua Reschow). The first recorded reference to the city is dated 1354, when Rzeszów received its town law. The Polish King, Casimir the Great, presented the town to the knight and diplomat Jan Pakosławic, who in gratitude changed his name to Rzeszowski. In accordance with his wishes, the town was moved to today's Old Market location. The Rzeszowski family governed the town until 1583. (more)
