Among the cities of Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Oława stands out for its position on the Oława River near the Oder. Southeast of Wrocław, it developed as a Silesian town on routes crossing the Oder valley and received town rights in 1234. Its compact centre is focused on Rynek, the market square, reflecting Oława’s long-standing commercial role. River meadows and lowland terrain place the town firmly within the Oder basin, rather than the Sudeten foothills farther south.
