Built around a medieval market square, Żarki grew into a small town on the northern edge of the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland in Silesian Voivodeship. Limestone hills, wooded valleys and rocky outcrops define this part of southern Poland, known for the castles of the Trail of the Eagles’ Nests. Żarki received town rights in 1382, lost them in 1870 and regained them in 1969. Its historic Jewish cemetery and central square reflect the town’s layered local heritage, while the castle ruins of Mirów and Bobolice are among the notable sites nearby.
