The Lower Silesian Voivodeship, simply known as Lower Silesia is one of the 16 voivodeships into which Poland is divided. Located in the southwestern part of the country, it covers an area of 19,946 square kilometres (7,701 sq mi), and as of 2024 has a total population of 2,868,242. Its capital and largest city is Wrocław, situated on the Oder. The voivodeship borders Germany to its west, the Czech Republic to its south, the Lubusz Voivodeship to its northeast and the Greater Poland and Opole voivodeships to its northeast and east, covering the majority of the historical region of Lower Silesia and parts of Upper Lusatia. It is the ones of the wealthiest voivodeships of Poland, as natural resources such as copper, brown coal and other rock materials are widely present. In addition, the voivodeship is home to a number of spa towns, castles, and palaces. In its southern part are the Sudetes and Giant Mountains. For this reason, tourism contributes to a large part of the voivodeship's economy...
