Piła is a city belonging to the Greater Poland Voivodeship, located on the border of the Wałeckie Lakeland and the Krajeńskie Lakeland, on the Gwda River. It is over 100 km away from the capital of the province - Poznan. Closer to the capital of the neighboring administrative district - Bydgoszcz. Other important urban centers within Pila are: Złotów, Chodzież, Wałcz and Jastrowie. Statistics state that Pila, which is the seat of Pila County, is inhabited by over 70,000 people. Pila was granted town rights in the first half of the 15th century. The town suffered heavy losses during World War II. It is enough to say that 90% of the buildings in the city centre had to be rebuilt.
