Rawa Mazowiecka
Poland
A former medieval ducal seat of the Piast dynasty and a royal city of Poland, Rawa Mazowiecka sits on the Rawka river in central Poland's Łódź Voivodeship. The town hosted the Polish army's Rawa Treasury from 1562 and served as a regional assembly point for local nobility from the 16th to the early 18th century. Heritage sites span Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles, and a regional museum covers the area's history. The town later became a cloth-manufacturing centre and today focuses on food and light industries.
