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.
