Przemyśl is the second-oldest city (after Kraków) in southeastern Poland, dating back to the 8th century. [4] It was the site of a fortified gord belonging to the Ledzianie ( Lendians ), [5] a West Slavic tribe. In the 9th century, the fortified settlement and the surrounding region became part of Great Moravia.
