Among the towns of Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Żabno stands out for its position on the Żabnica River in the Sandomierz Basin. Located north-west of Tarnów, it belongs to a broad, agricultural lowland shaped by the nearby Dunajec River and its tributaries. Żabno was first recorded in the 13th century and received town rights in 1385, giving its central market square a long-established role in local life. Today it is the seat of the surrounding gmina and a useful point of reference for exploring the quieter northern reaches of Lesser Poland, away from the region’s better-known mountain districts.
