Piotrków Trybunalski is a city in central Poland in Lodz Province on the Strava River. Its name derives from the name "Piotr," and the segment "Trybunalski" from the fact that the city for more than 200 years was the seat of the first supreme court in the Republic, the Crown Tribunal. Piotrkow was also the site of the first Sejm conventions, synods of bishops, or the first bicameral parliament. As a curiosity, it may be mentioned that Piotrkow was repeatedly the film set for many excellent films by well-known Polish directors. Among others, "Vabank", "Przedwiośnie" or "Pan Tadeusz" were filmed here.

In particular, it is worth going to the Trybunalski Market Square, to see the remains of the medieval city walls and the Royal Castle, which is actually a palace built as a residence for King Sigismund the Old, which now houses the Piotrkow museum. The Baroque church of St. Francis Xavier, known as the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Trybunal, houses the miraculous image of Our Lady, the patron saint of Polish parliamentarians.
Piotrków has been a multicultural city since the 16th century, inhabited not only by Poles, but also by a large population of Jews, Orthodox Greeks, or Protestants of German origin.
