Introducing Krosno
Founded in the 14th century and prosperous during the Renaissance – it was even nicknamed ‘little Kraków’ for a time – Krosno slid into decay from the 18th century onwards. It revived with the trade of linen and Hungarian wine, and, in the mid-19th century, with the development of the oil industry. It is especially known for its ornamental and commercial glassworks.

Krosno is unexceptional except for its tiny historic core, perched on a hill, and some interesting sights nearby.
