Nysa (population 2024: 40,287) is a county town in the Opolskie Voivodeship in south-western Poland. Nysa emerged as a Silesian settlement in the 10th century, but was granted city rights in 1223. In the 13th/14th century, it became the capital of the same-named duchy and at the same time the residence of the prince-bishops of Breslau. Its historical relationship with Lower Silesia ended with the secularization and reorganization of administration in Prussia at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1815, it was assigned to the Upper Silesian administrative district of Oppeln. Since then, is Nysa has been more closely associated with this region. The old town, known for its baroque architecture, was largely destroyed during the Second World War. Nysa has belonged to Poland since 1945
