Nestled between Łańcut and Jarosław, unheralded Przeworsk is an under-the-radar gem with a fascinating history and much to offer visitors.
Built upon a round hill, a fortified Slavic settlement existed here in the 10th century, but anthropologists will know the town for lending its name to ‘Przeworsk culture’ - an Iron Age material culture prevalent across the region from the 3rd century BCE to 5th century CE. Granted a town charter in 1394, Przeworsk was a private town changing hands between some of Poland’s most famous noble families - Tarnowski, Ostrogski and Lubomirski - until the 18th century. The ‘Pshevorsk’ Hasidic movement also has its origins here, before its local decimation during WWII.
