Stare Miasto (Polish: [ˈstarɛ ˈmjastɔ]) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Leżajsk, within Leżajsk County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland. It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) north-west of Leżajsk and 41 km (25 mi) north-east of the regional capital Rzeszów.[1]
It was the former location of the nearby town of Leżajsk, which was eventually moved to its present location in 1524 by Polish King Sigismund I the Old. Afterwards, as Stare Miasto ("Old Town") it was a royal village of the Polish Crown.
