The Twin City Agreement between Netanya and Nowy Sącz was signed on 30 October 1994 by Zvi Poleg, Mayor of Netanya, and Andrzej Czerwiński, Mayor of Nowy Sącz, who had been elected to office in July 1994.
Nowy Sącz is a city in southern Poland, located in the Małopolska (Lesser Poland) Voivodeship, at the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, where the Dunajec and Kamienica rivers meet. The city has a population of approximately 80,000.
Founded in 1292, Nowy Sącz is considered one of the most important historic cities in southern Poland. Thanks to its location among mountain ranges and national parks, it is a popular destination for tourism, hiking, and winter sports, while also serving as a regional center for commerce, education, and culture.
The city’s historic center features the Market Square (Rynek), the Town Hall, the 14th-century Royal Castle, historic churches, and numerous architecturally significant buildings. Nearby is the Sądecki Ethnographic Park, one of the largest open-air museums in Poland, showcasing the heritage and traditions of the Lesser Poland region.
Today, Nowy Sącz is an important economic, academic, and cultural center in southern Poland, as well as a popular tourist destination thanks to its natural surroundings, historical landmarks, and proximity to the Carpathian Mountains.
