About

Gorlice is a town on the Ropa in southern Poland, at the edge of the Low Beskids. It is associated with the early oil industry and the Gorlice–Tarnów offensive of the First World War.

Notes

The town is distinct from Görlitz/Zgorzelec on the Neisse. Gorlice–Tarnów names a First World War offensive, not a combined municipality.
