Piotrkow Trybunalski

Among the cities of Łódź Voivodeship, Piotrków Trybunalski stands out for its role in the history of Poland’s parliament and Crown Tribunal. The Strawa River crosses the city on the central Polish plain, while the compact Old Town preserves the fabric of a place once important to the kingdom. In 1493, Piotrków hosted the Sejm widely regarded as Poland’s first bicameral parliament. From 1578, the Crown Tribunal, the Polish Crown’s highest appellate court, sat here. The 16th-century Royal Castle, commissioned by King Sigismund I the Old, remains a key monument in the historic centre.
