A Town in Miniature: How a Village with One Street and Thousands of Residents Lives.

A unique village located along a single street is Suloshovo in Poland. This small settlement with about 6,000 residents is located northwest of Krakow. Its feature is a symmetrical linear layout resembling a chessboard. From a bird's eye view, it looks like an incredible artistic composition.

The main street is approximately 9 kilometers long, with all the houses and businesses located on both sides. The fields stretching behind the buildings create a beautiful green-golden mosaic. According to a local government representative, this place resembles a leaf, especially in drone photographs.

'Suloshovo is surrounded by nature with forests and fields. Our fields that wrap around the main street look like a leaf in drone photographs,' said Katarzyna Bieda from the Suloshovo commune council.

The tradition of one street emerged in the past when living on a single street was more convenient due to road access.

As of 2022, the population of Suloshovo was about 6,000 people, of which over 5,600 live in the village itself. Besides its extraordinary architecture, Suloshovo has many interesting places to visit. A huge number of tourists come here every year, especially in spring and summer, to enjoy the natural landscape and visit landmarks such as the Piskowa Skala Castle and the Matsuga Hercules Rock.

The Matsuga Hercules Rock is a 30-meter limestone column, and the castle is a 14th-century fortress. The local rocks, ravines, and about 400 caves also attract tourists visiting this area.
