Kielce is best known within Poland for Kadzielnia, a former limestone quarry preserved as a nature reserve in the city. Set in the foothills of the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, the regional capital is crossed by the Silnica River and has long been associated with the area’s distinctive geology. Kadzielnia’s exposed rock faces and cave system give this urban park an unusual geological character; its amphitheatre also hosts concerts and public events. The 17th-century Palace of the Kraków Bishops, now home to the National Museum in Kielce, recalls the city’s ties to the bishops of Kraków.
